It's amazing that you kept those words with you for so long. I am sorry that you had that intense time of desolation. I think it is so common, and it happens at different moments in our lives. I am so glad you are able to reflect on it now and write beautifully.
"A solace here I find" could be the five-word response. Thank goodness these books, songs, and hymns come when they do. You describe the Seattle house so well that I can feel the coldness of roommates coming and going. "Putting love at the center" could be another five words, since that's what the house was missing (and maybe the spirit, too).

I’m learning more about you each time you write. Thank you.
