It's the same struggle for each of us, and the same path out: the utterly simple, infinitely wise ultimately defiant act of loving one thing and then another, loving our way back to life...

"Sei tu che tutte le mattine devi alzarti e decidere ogni volta, nella fredda e solitaria luce del giorno: ho il coraggio di resistere?"

The most important thing about a person is always the thing you don’t know.

Barbara Kingsolver, The Lacuna

Maybe life doesn't get any better than this, or any worse, and what we get is just what we're willing to find: small wonders, where they grow. - Barbara Kingsolver

More tidings of comfort:

“Truth and love have been smacked down, so many more times in history before today. Truth, because it’s often inconvenient, and love because it is vulnerable.

But truth is like gravity, and carbon, and the sun behind an eclipse: it’s still there. And love stays alive if you tend it like a flame. If you feel crushed by unkindness today, it’s a time for grieving, reaching out to loved ones, noticing one bright color somewhere in the day.

Remembering what there is to love. Starting with the immediate, the place and people we can tend ourselves, and make safe. We can’t save everything all at once, but it’s still worth saving something. Because there are so many of us to do it.

And we are all still here today, exactly as we were yesterday. Like gravity, and carbon, and the sun behind an eclipse.”

I thought I wouldn’t live through it. But you do. You learn to love the place somebody leaves behind for you.

Our childhood had passed over into history overnight. The transition was unnoticed by anyone but ourselves.
