I go to church every Sunday, which is like going to the gas station once a week and really, really filling up.

I was raised by my parents to believe that you had a moral obligation to try and help save the world.

What if we never 'get over' certain deaths, or our childhoods? What if the idea that we should have by now, or will, is a great palace lie? What if we're not supposed to? What if it takes a life time...?

Without using the word, everyone started forgiving each other again. Just like that, from the no of all nothingness: you have a big tense mess and out of it comes some joy. It must be magic.

only grieving can heal grief; the passage of time will lessen the acuteness, but time alone, without the direct experience of grief, will not heal it.

Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.

I have a very dark sense of humor. I swear. I have a very playful relationship with Jesus.
