John Green
“no one ever says good-bye unless they want to see you again. aa”
John Green, Turtles All the Way Down

Marcel Proust
“There is nothing like desire for obstructing any resemblance between what one says and what one has on one's mind.”
Marcel Proust, The Guermantes Way

Lao Tzu
“When the student is ready the teacher will appear. When the student is truly ready... The teacher will Disappear.”
Tao Te Ching

Gregory Boyle
“Compassion isn't just about feeling the pain of others; it's about bringing them in toward yourself. If we love what God loves, then, in compassion, margins get erased. 'Be compassionate as God is compassionate,' means the dismantling of barriers that exclude.

In Scripture, Jesus is in a house so packed that no one can come through the door anymore. So the people open the roof and lower this paralytic down through it, so Jesus can heal him. The focus of the story is, understandably, the healing of the paralytic. But there is something more significant than that happening here. They're ripping the roof off the place, and those outside are being let in.”
Gregory Boyle, Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion

Joy Harjo
“Call your spirit back. It may be caught in corners and creases of shame, judgment, and human abuse.

You must call in a way that your spirit will want to return.

Speak to it as you would to a beloved child.

Welcome your spirit back from its wandering. It may return in pieces, in tatters. Gather them together. They will be happy to be found after being lost for so long.

Your spirit will need to sleep awhile after it is bathed and given clean clothes.

Now you can have a party. Invite everyone you know who loves and supports you. Keep room for those who have no place else to go.

Make a giveaway, and remember, keep the speeches short.

Then, you must do this: help the next person find their way through the dark.”
Joy Harjo, Conflict Resolution for Holy Beings: Poems
