“It’s strange what hindsight does. Takes all the layers of emotions and flattens them, either good or bad. It takes time to see the shadows as something beautiful. But of course in the present, hindsight is not possible. The presence is messy, scary, uncertain.”

“Even at its core, even without common experience, there is something universal about loss. I can feel it, deep as heartache. Something stirs at loss. Something awakens to it, like a knowing, like an understanding, that this is how everything ends.”
