“Beginnings and endings are earthly ideas. I go on. And because I go on, you go on with me. Feeling loss is part of why you are on Earth. Through it, you appreciate the brief gift of human existence, and you learn to cherish the world I created for you. But the human form is not permanent. It was never meant to be. That gift belongs to the soul. “I know the tears you shed, Benjamin. When people leave this Earth, their loved ones always weep.” She smiled. “But I promise you, those who leave do not.”

“I don't need company,' I [Benjamin Kierney] said. 'I'm just thinking about things.'

'Your fate,' the Lord said.

'Perhaps I can help.'

I actually laughed. 'Why? If I were God, I would have given up on me long ago.'

'But you are not,' he said, 'and I never will.”

“I am both ever evolving and ever decaying.”

“Life isn't given to be deserved. It's given to be lived. If you can find one thing that makes it worth seeing another day, then you've done all you're meant to do.”
― Roseanne A. Brown, A Psalm of Storms and Silence
