“We can not escape tragic roads. It is like grasping at the sun & trying to catch air. We must take one step at-a-time. Keep going.”

“For some, excavating the past isn’t an adventure, it’s more akin to tearing a Band-Aid off an open wound.”

“Will that light come again,
As now these tears come...falling hot and real!”

“I think anyone who opened their heart enough to love without restraint and subsequently were devastated by loss knows that in that moment you are forever changed; a apart of you is no longer whole. Some will never again love with that level of abandon where life is perceived as innocent and the threat of loss seems implausible. Love and loss, therefore, are linked.”
