OK I lied.

"Loathe the way they light candles in Rome,

But love the sweet air of the votives.

Hurt and grieve but don't suffer alone,

engage with the pain as a motive."

Hosea reminding Dutch that living can be beautiful and life is beautiful, it's there, he just has to let himself feel it. Let himself experience as hosea had so many years ago when he'd chanced on a dark haired young man out in the sandy roads to California.

"And there may not be meaning, so find one and seize it, do not waste yourself on this roof.

Hear those bells ring deep in the soul,

Chiming away for a moment.

Feel your breath course frankly below,

And see life as a worthy opponent."

*sobs disgustingly about how that could be Hosea pleading silently for Dutch to listen, hear him, hear himself, and feel his beating heart that'll remind him of Hosea's. And how they felt together. As one. *
