We must live in the radiance of tomorrow, as our ancestors have suggested in their tales. For what is yet to come tomorrow has possibilities, and we must think of it, the simplest glimpse of that possibility of goodness. That will be our strength. That has always been our strength.

Some nights the sky wept stars that quickly floated and disappeared into the darkness before our wishes could meet them.

My childhood had gone by without my knowing, and it seemed as if my heart had frozen.

How many more times do we have to come to terms with death before we find safety?

...children have the resilience to outlive their sufferings, if given a chance.

I am always quiet so that I know what to say when I must speak.

We all find joy and radiance and a reason to move on even in the most dire of circumstances. Even in chaos and madness, theres still a beauty that comes from just the vibrancy of another human spirit.
