All Death Dying Grief Imagination Loss Love Memories Ocean Sleep

The Bear Quotes

“Imagine it from here everything you say in front of you — lake, trees, the mountains to the edge of the horizon — was water. Endless blue water of waves in constant motion. That’s what the ocean looks like. The girl frowned. I can’t imagine it, she said. No, said the man. You can’t. Not until you see it. And hear it. And smell it.”

“But I miss whom I once could touch, as all must do when we make our way through whatever forest or wood it is in which we travel or are raised. This does not mean the man is lost or has disappeared forever. For although he no longer walks beside you, he still remains in the time and place of memory and this is where he will appear again and again, as often as you will seek him. Not only in those places where he has always been but where he could not be then yet will be now.”
