“J’ai plus de souvenirs que si j’avais mille ans. Who’d believe that what ends here continues, it’s senseless. Don’t listen. Use up all the memory. Use up all that’s there.”

“I have seen, over and over, the connection between tuning in to what brings aliveness into our systems and bring able to access personal, relational and communal power.

“We also learn that love is a limited resource and that the love we want and need is too much, that we are too much. We learn to shrink, to lie about the whole love we need, settling with not quite good enough in order to not be alone.”
