“… I held
Back about love
All those years:
Talking about death
Insistently, even
As I was alive;
Talking about loss
As if all was loss,
As if the world
Did not return
Each morning.” —Gregory Orr, fromConcerning the Book that is the Body of the Beloved (via growing-orbits)

1. To be good
2. To save nothing

“I often hear people say that they read to escape reality, but I believe that what they’re really doing is reading to find reason for hope, to find strength. While a bad book leaves readers with a sense of hopelessness and despair, a good novel, through stories of values realized, of wrongs righted, can bring to readers a connection to the wonder of life. A good novel shows how life can and ought to be lived. It not only entertains but energizes and uplifts readers.”

“The bravest thing I ever did was continuing my life when I wanted to die.”

and words full
of holes
