When Mommas Cry - The Darkside of Yearning Quotes

“Truth Matters   “Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows.”   Pope Paul VI Italian Pope 1897-1978”

“You can’t fix dead.  The world stops for no one. Time heals. No. Rather, we learn to navigate, maneuver, dodge, climb, crawl, fight, withdraw, duck, and run.  This continued movement on our part, is what leads others to believe we are healing.  If only it was as easy as spin around three times, click your red, ruby slippers together, and immediately you are transported back to the day before Time rose from its chair and said, “Now.”
