“وعندما تضطرب أحوالُ العَيش، وتبرز صعوبات مقلقة، يزداد تشبثه بربه، فعن ابن عمر، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم : "ما يمنع أحدكم، إذا عَسُر عليه أمر معيشته، أن يقول إذا خرج من بيته : بسم الله على نفسي ومالي وديني، اللهم رضِّـني بقضاءك، وبارك لي فيما قُـدِّر لي، حتى لا أحب تعجيل ما أخَّرت، ولا تأخير ما عجَّـلت" .... سبحان الله! أي علم بالنفس البشرية ومتاعبها كان عند هذا الرسول؟! وأي خزائن ملأى باليقين كان يمنح منها هذا وذاك ليستبقي العلاقة بالله ثابتة هادئة؟!.”

“The key is in accepting your thoughts, all of them, even the bad ones. Accept thoughts, but don’t become them. Understand, for instance, that having a sad thought, even having a continual succession of sad thoughts, is not the same as being a sad person. You can walk through a storm and feel the wind but you know you are not the wind.”

“People always fall in love with the most perfect aspects of each other’s personalities. Who wouldn’t? Anybody can love the most wonderful parts of another person. But that’s not the clever trick. The really clever trick is this: Can you accept the flaws? Can you look at your partner’s faults honestly and say, ‘I can work around that. I can make something out of it.’? Because the good stuff is always going to be there, and it’s always going to pretty and sparkly, but the crap underneath can ruin you.”

“... Broken people just need piecing back together.
For so long I'd carried the pieces of me. Every now and then I'd drop one like a breadcrumb. So I could find my way home. Then Ashley came along and gathered the pieces and somewhere between 11,000 fee and sea level, the picture began taking shape. Dim at first, then clearer. Not yet clear. But these things take time.
Maybe each of us was once a complete whole. A clear picture. A single piece. Then something happened to crack and shatter us. Leaving us disconnected, torn and splintered. Some of us lie in a hundred pieces. Some ten thousand. Some are edged with sharp contrast. Some dim shades of gray. Some find they are missing pieces. Some find they have too many. In any case, we are left shaking our heads. It can't be done.
Then someone comes along who mends a tattered edge, or returns a lost piece. The process is tedious, painful, and there are no shortcuts. Anything that promises to be one is not.
But somehow, as we walk from the crash site - away from he wreckage - whole sections start taking shape, something vague we see out of the corner of our eye. For a second, we stop shaking our heads. We wonder. Maybe...just maybe.
It's risky for both of us. You must hope in an image you can't see, and I must trust you with me.
That's the piecing.”
