The world is not a rational place.

When people's emotions are involved they don't want to listen.

Experiencing life through a book can help you learn without all the pain of going through the experiences first hand.

Why is it I'm always so quick to believe that people are thinking...believing the worst about me?

It was like that. Sometimes I'd go for a period—days or weeks—without feeling the full sweep of my loss, and then as unexpected as a thunderclap, the realization would rip the protective coating from my senses. Maybe that's the way it is with trick knees and aging griefs. Totally pain free one moment and absorbingly painful the next.

I love Arkansas but I think Arkansas has its share of unlit minds.

What do you know about sooner or later? Is a moment only a moment when you're in pain?
