“But faced with the choice of living one breath longer or crashing in right now, most folks would take the extra moment. That single extra breath.

“Even a wounded world is feeding us. Even a wounded world holds us, giving us moments of wonder and joy. I choose joy over despair. Not because I have my head in the sand, but because joy is what the earth gives me daily and I must return the gift.”
