“There’s nothing to fear. Nothing at all. Over there, across the dark waters, on that far shore, there’s only beauty. Dogs can see it, you know. We can peer through the thin places between worlds —even through the veil between this life and the next. And over there you and I are already together, and always have been, and always will be. Part of you remembers. Part of everyone does. Hence those myths we’ve discussed so often—Eden, for instance.”

“When you are in a peak, your ego makes you see things as better than they really are.
And in a valley, it makes you see things worse than they really are.

The most common reason you stay in a valley too long is fear. Masquerading as comfort.”
