“Day in and day out, the Earth keeps spinning and revolving and sailing through the Milky Way. That is why time never stands still.” TJR

“Her eyes sharpen as she comes fully awake. In the moonlight, I see a brief flicker of guilt, admission of her trespass, followed by a glint of something flatter and colder.”

“We’re reminded to spend the time we have left on what’s truly meaningful, to lay down the things we can’t control—things we finally realize we’ve never controlled—and live in the moment.”

“Anger is a catalyst. Holding on to it will make us exhausted and sick. Internalizing anger will take away our joy and spirit; externalizing anger will make us less effective in our attempts to create change and forge connection.

That’s what makes us kindred spirits, Rory—our bruises.”

Incredible!
