worth a thousand words

It looks like Portugal is the first in the world to recognize and raise awareness about the struggle of infertility in its postage currency. I found this through the national Resolve website. I was so struck by the image, and searching for the right word to describe it. “It’s so…” — when words failed me, and M said simply, “powerful.”  Indeed.

You can purchase this beautiful series through the Portuguese postal service (for English click at the top of the page).

  6. I saw that a few weeks ago and every now and then I go back and just stare at it. You’re right - it’s worth a thousand words. It expresses what can’t be said in words about infertility.
