“But when we allow and expect each other to change and, even more to the point, when we witness the learning, the changing, the grieving, with curiosity and patience and care and love; when we make room for and witness and invite each other's unfixing and so are unfixing ourselves; when we join the grieving, or when we join in grieving, and when we do it again and again, making of that soft, mutual, curious, groundless witnessing not only an endeavor, but also a practice (we're talking about practice again); when we do these things, we fall apart into one another. We fall into each other.”

“It doesn't take much to convince yourself that you're doing okay, just some discretionary income and a regularity to your days.”

“Maybe it is better to stay connected to each other in the unknown or the mystical. To request a piece of something solid be absorbed into us so we can never forget from whence we came. This keeps us rooted in history and the humanness that can get lost in the modern world. It's a hands-to-the-earth practice that lets each of us be free in the not knowing. It's not ignorance, it's faith and some measure of innocent that allows us to suspend belief in our current world -- a port amid the chaos.”
― Athena Dixon, The Loneliness Files: A Memoir in Essays

“The luminous, mycelial tethers between us, our fundamental connection to one another, the raft through the sorrow, the holding through the grief joy is, reminds us, again and again, that we belong not to an institution or a party or a state or a market, but to each other. Needfully so.”
