“Why do you lie so much? And about the weirdest little things?", my mother always asked me. "I don‘t know", I always said. But I did know. It was very simple. Because it was a better story.”

And when you‘re confronted with life you can either be cowardly or you can be brave, but either way you‘re going to live. So you might as well be brave.”

“It didn't matter in the end how old they had been, or that they were girls, but only that we had loved them, and that they hadn't heard us calling, still do not hear us, up here in the tree house, with our thinning hair and soft bellies, calling them out of those rooms where they went to be alone for all time, alone in suicide, which is deeper than death, and where we will never find the pieces to put them back together.”

I think about what those two odd guys said.

You must go on.

"You know what, sometimes it seems to me we're living in a world that we fabricate for ourselves. We decide what's good and what isn't, we draw maps of meanings for ourselves. . .

"Everyone has that moment I think, the moment when something so momentous happens that it rips your very being into small pieces. And then you have to stop. For a long time, you gather your pieces.

More, a way you can live with until you know for certain that this piece should go there, and that one there."

Everything that was broken has
forgotten its brokenness. I live
now in a sky-house, through every
window the sun. Also your presence.
Our touching, our stories. Earthy
and holy both. How can this be, but
it is. Every day has something in
it whose name is Forever.
