1 " But if they've helped form you into who you are, then they never really leave you; they're always with you in whatever you do, and maybe that's the point. "

2 " Given the correlation between aging and death, declaring that you can’t stand today’s music might actually mark the first stage of the dying process. "
3 " I savor these moments. They sit tart and bright and sweet on my tongue like the taste of hibiscus tea with honey. From these moments I can cultivate gratitude and from gratitude I distill grace. "
4 " Sometimes there’s a scent in the air so beautiful, earthly, and alive that it makes me feel ravenous, like this sharp awakening moment wants to cut me open to prove how empty I am, to show how much space there is for me to fill. What will I fill it with? I could eat the dirt and all that is in it and sense it wouldn’t be enough. I am giddy. I want to fly. "
