Postcards for a Songbird QUOTES

1 " Sometimes love does that—it presents itself cloaked in something darker, in odd shapes, in tears and groans and messes, because just like the rest of us, love is afraid to be itself. Sometimes to catch love, you have to hold it to the ground, strip it down, wash the dirt away, and wait. But love will eventually surface to breathe. Most of the time. "

― Rebekah Crane , Postcards for a Songbird

2 " A life of observation, but not engagement. That’s my destiny. And most people live their entire lives never noticing just how many birds float in the sky above them. "

― Rebekah Crane , Postcards for a Songbird

3 " I’m left with two options: hope there’s more to me, something unseen that’s waiting to come out, or fear that this is it, that all I’ll ever be is standing in front of me, already here. "

4 " It is easy to love someone else. The harder task is loving yourself. "

5 " My feet just want to wander, Songbird. Even at night. Even in the dark. Why would God give us legs if she didn’t want us to ramble? "

6 " My problem with handstands is that I can’t get the courage to jump. I don’t trust what will happen when I let go. I don’t trust myself to handle it. To toss the world upside down by choice. To let the pieces fall away until I’m stripped down to my core. "

7 " The truth is that no one is pure evil. But remembering the good parts of a person makes it hurt more, because that’s when hope shows up. "
