“People come in and out of your life. For a time they are your world; they are everything. And then one day they're not. There's no telling how long you will have them near. A year ago I could not have imagined that Josh would no longer be a constant for me. I couldn't have conceived of how hard it would be to not see Margot every day, how lost I would feel without her- or how easily Josh could slip away, without me even realizing. It's the good-byes that are hard.”

“Being abused causes pain, outrage, hate, vengeance, confusion, and misery can only break what goodness remains.”

“I watched as he ignored the world
and focused on his hands.
He creased a simple paper plane
and dreamt of other lands.

I watched him reach to throw that plane
into the open sky.
A passing breeze upheld its wings
and made the paper fly.

I watched a pleasant smile control
his lips throughout the flight,
until the little paper plane
had floated out of sight.

I hoped to see him chase the plane
into the light of day.
Instead, he creased another one
and threw it too away.”

“A great poet to me
is a person who can describe a painting
in such ways
that even a person
with closed eyes
can feel the pain of the artist.”
― Laura Chouette
