“It is something to have gazed on the constellated white,

“You mustn’t wish for another life. You mustn’t want to be somebody else. What you must do is this:

Pray without ceasing.
In everything give thanks.”

― Wendell Berry, Hannah Coulter

“I scratch down happiness, I
want my ink to do happy dances,
to careen across the pages staggering
like a drunken fellow, giddy
on moonshine or sunset.”
― Bryana Johnson, Having Decided To Stay
