In a Riptide Quotes

“When I was grieving, I saw

that it was no one’s job to take care of me

however sad I got.


Surprised. I’d thought we all had someone

or that everyone’s job was to look after everyone.

But it’s not true.


And I gathered myself

and sent myself everywhere

and went free.”
― Ronna Bloom, In a Riptide

“When you were dying, I held up the phone and a voice said,

We love you. We’re proud of you. Go free.

And you scattered.”
― Ronna Bloom, In a Riptide
