Are you still alone

“Times are difficult globally; awakening is no longer a luxury or an ideal. It’s becoming critical. We don’t need to add more depression, more discouragement, or more anger to what’s already here. It’s becoming essential that we learn how to relate sanely with difficult times. The earth seems to be beseeching us to connect with joy and discover our innermost essence. This is the best way that we can benefit others.”

“I’d crawl into your bed and there we would lay, our faces inches apart, our legs entangled and our minds engaged for hours. 3 a.m. came and passed, then 4, then 5. We had a knack for saying everything except for everything we really felt. How we existed on so little sleep those days still confounds me. We were all nerves, all blood and guts and adrenaline. You were skipping to work in pure joy, you told me, and I was running out of reasons not to love you.”

“You’re brave. Nothing ever happens to the brave.”
