Grief will make you do crazy things. It will electrify the elegant, flower-stem neurons in the amygdala of your brain, will pluck them like an instrument. In ancient Rome, grief made men twirl in their thin, leather sandals and pirouette

“But home isn’t where you land; home is where you launch. You can’t pick your home any more than you can choose your family. In poker, you get five cards. Three of them you can swap out, but two are yours to keep: family and native land.”

“Yesterday I sat under the hickory tree in the front yard. It's the only place where I find rest and just feel fine. I know fine isn't a lot, but it's rare for me these days. Even when I'm happy, there is something in between me and whatever good news comes my way. It's like eating a butterscotch still sealed in the wrapper.”

“Sometimes it's exhausting for me to simply walk into the house. I try and calm myself, remember that I've lived alone before. Sleeping by myself didn't kill me then and will not kill me now. But this what loss has taught me of love. Our house isn't simply empty, our home has been emptied. Love makes a place in your life, it makes a place for itself in your bed. Invisibly, it makes a place in your body, rerouting all your blood vessels, throbbing right alongside your heart. When it's gone, nothing is whole again.”

“Today I made love to my woman.
Not because I wanted to right then,
But because I knew i'd want to when we started,
And that the walk on the beach we took afterward would be more romantic,
The cocktail I made at 5:45 would taste better,
The shrimp I seasoned would have more savour,
The all-star game we watched at 7:00 would be more exciting,
The music we danced to til midmight would have more rhythm,
And the conversation about life we had together, sitting across the table from each other, until 3:00 am in the morning would be more inspiring.
And it was.”
