“Every decision we make in life, every new relationship, every job, every change, is a free fall. And it’s not the dive that will kill us. It’s the fear of taking the jump that hurts the most. The secret is to believe we are all capable of flight.”
― Katie Kacvinsky, Still Point

“That’s how we are—people of reasons and holes.  Anything we want, we can justify.  We can poke holes in anything inconvenient by asking the right questions.  And simultaneously we can patch holes in anything attractive by concocting the right explanations.  It comes down to the lies we prefer to believe.  The lies that bring us the most comfort.  The lies that fulfill our desires and dispatch our fears.”
― Kate Wrath, Evolution

“Out here stars were perforations revealing the bleached skeleton of the universe through a collection of tiny holes. And surrounded by these silent trees, beside a calming fire, I watched the bones dance. This was our medicine, these bones, and I opened up and took it all in. And dreamed of north.”
― Cherie Dimaline, The Marrow Thieves

“There is freedom waiting for you,
On the breezes of the sky,
And you ask "What if I fall?"
Oh but my darling,
What if you fly?”
― Erin Hanson
