We so seldom understand each other. But if understanding is neither here nor there, and the universe is infinite, then understand that no matter where we go we will always be smack dab in the middle of nowhere. All we can do is share some piece of ourselves, and hope that itโs remembered. Hope that we meant something to someone
Shane KoyczanI don't want to turn any of this into poetry / but / you're so beautiful / flowers turn their heads to smell you
Shane KoyczanBut we are more than genteel or civilized/ we are an idea in the process of being realized.
Shane KoyczanLook at an avalanche, and see that we are at our most powerful when we let go. Look at a flower, and see that we are at our most beautiful when we open up.
Shane KoyczanI have loved this life. I smile because I have tiny dreams that play hopscotch at the corners of my mouth. And every time I breathe they float, every time I laugh, they fly kites.
Shane KoyczanWe come from the mentality, that rarely sees the horror in symmetry or the beauty in non-conformity
Shane KoyczanEveryone knows pain. We are not meant to carry it forever. We were never meant to hold it so closely, so be certain in the belief that what pain belongs to now will belong soon to then. That when someone asks you how was your day, realize that for some of us - it's the only way we know how to say, be calm. Loosen your grip, opening each palm, slowly now - let go.
