'Here's to the end of loneliness, I toasted quietly, not believing such a thing could come true. But it did and nothing prepared me for the sense of peace I felt - of love gone deep into a friendship - so for a while I took it to be a premonition of death - the deathbed calm we're supposed to feel after getting our affairs in order.

A good rodeo, like a good marriage, or a musical instrument when played to the pitch of perfection, becomes more than what it started out to be. It is effort transformed into effortlessness; a balance becomes grace, the way love goes deep into friendship.

If I read winter right, it is a scroll - the white growing wider and wider like the sweep of an arm- and from it we gain a peripheral vision, a capacity for what Nabokov calls 'those asides of spirit, those footnotes in the volume of life by which we know life and find it to be good'.
This book has so much heart. What's not to love?!

Finally, the lessons of impermanence taught me this: loss constitutes an odd kind of fullness; despair empties out into an unquenchable appetite for life.
