“The future was also the place where the bad stuff waited in ambush. My children were embarking on their futures in fragile vessels, and I trembled. I wanted to remove obstacles, smooth their way, I wanted to change their childhoods. I needed to be right all the time, I wanted them to listen to me, learn from my mistakes, and save themselves a lot of grief. Well, now I know I can control my tongue, my temper, and my appetites, but that's it. I have no effect on weather, traffic, or luck. I can't make good things happen. I can't keep anybody safe. I can't influence the future and I can't fix up the past.
What a relief.”
Abigail Thomas, A Three Dog Life

“Photographs, it seems to me, are both moments in time and bits of memory.”
Craig Lancaster, 600 Hours of Edward

“Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.”
Peter A. Levine

Monica Wood
“...each chime pecking a pinhole in the sheeted dark until the last layers shred completely and the light pours in and in.”
Monica Wood, The One-in-a-Million Boy

George Saunders
“There’s a vast underground network for goodness at work in this world—a web of people who’ve put reading at the center of their lives because they know from experience that reading makes them more expansive, generous people…”
George Saunders, A Swim in a Pond in the Rain
