Quotes by Janis Harper (?)

“We are always seeking ourselves. -- Anamika
(from Jonas and the Mountain: A Metaphysical Love Story)”
― Janis Harper

“Death is a shift of focus. There is no loss; no one disappears. The people who are important to you are like constellations of stars in the night sky. What you see shifts depending on your vantage point. It doesn’t mean that the stars you can’t see have disappeared. We each exist this way to each other, flickering in and out. Death is but another flicker. The constellation remains—the relationships, which are, ultimately, a kind of love.”
― Janis Harper, Jonas and the Mountain: A Metaphysical Love Story

“When you die you don’t leave anything or anyone. The world as you knew it falls away because it only existed in your perception. No one is left behind. You’re all still there, stars in a constellation, just flickering in a different way because you’ve shifted your perspective.”
