“To Mami and Nono, purity never came into healing, because purity didn’t exist. A person would always be visited by pain and grief. A person was an accretion, constantly growing in strangeness, becoming an accumulation. Healing was found in stretching toward abundance. It was not about leaving the past behind, dividing the self into good and bad, but about opening a path through ruins.”

“My whole life, Mami has been trying to teach me: there is no such thing as a curse. More and more, I understand what she means. Everyone suffers. To believe in a curse is to believe oneself above suffering. No one is above suffering. You can only believe in a curse if you believe in being spared.”

“When you really have something to offer to the world, then you can become truly humble. A tree when it has no fruit to offer, remains erect. But when the tree is laden with fruit, it bends down. If you are all pride and ego, then nobody will be able to get anything worthwhile from you. When you have genuine humility, it is a sign that you have something to offer to mankind.”
