“My dear, that is something you cannot control. When someone is grieving, the best thing you can do is let them heal on their own, and show them that you'll be there for them. I know it's hard, because you are a kind girl and want to help everyone. But sad people aren't objects to fix. Give them space and show them you'll still love them whenever they are ready to be loved.”

“You just hear the wind. And you just see the stars above you.

They are beautiful.

And then . . . they're gone.”

“But the seven of you have something that nobody else ever had; time. All the time in the world. Time enough to grow indescribably close. Time enough to learn how to care for each other, to allow yourselves to be cared for. And, in the case of Barry and Lup, time enough to fall, deeply, and truly, in love.”
― Griffin McElroy

“Well I am, now. But I wasn't always so ready to call it my home--when one feels displaced, it can take a while for the connections to grow. Once I was ready, it felt like I was part of a new song that I had somehow always known.”
― Kay O'Neill, The Tea Dragon Tapestry
