Cathedral Quotes

“you know what hurts more than goodbye?
the almost-goodbye.
letting go of someone you never quite knew
and knowing you cannot know each other
and knowing you cannot know each other well
until you stand before God's throne.

and knowing that it is good.”
― Maya Joelle, Cathedral: a collection

“oh brave one,
oh broken, beautifully brave one,
remember.
remember that no matter how tiny the fragments this time,
how far apart they are scattered,
how long you must search,
he will help you find the pieces of the person you once were
and the image you once bore.”

“When I was younger I did not doubt you, and I thought I never would.
But now I do, and my fears are crystal sharp in my mind. Breaking me.
I am broken.
And in my brokenness, I break things.
...
And yet
you tell me
to rejoice.”
