Quote by G. Scott Graham

“You are not who you were before the rupture. You are not meant to be. The one who follows the Way does not patch the vessel or search for old blueprints. They sit beside the broken form and listen to what echoes through the cracks.”

“as I gazed up at the full moon rising through the trees and wondered how another month had passed, and I said out loud to that satellite—that desolate rock that does nothing but orbit and reflect light and drive the tides—-I said look how far I have come, I am still here, I have survived the worst of it, I woke up laughing last night, when was the last time that happened, and when the moon answered back with its wild silence I realized too late I was never talking to the moon at all, that when I speak to an empty place, I am always speaking to you.”

“You do not move on. You move with. Grief is not a door you exit. It is the floor beneath you. It holds you up, even as it shakes. The one who walks the Way does not step over sorrow to prove strength. They carry it like water — not clenched, but cupped.”

“I know what it's like to have your family taken from you. To feel that emptiness--that pain--and fear it's never going to leave you. I know how it feels to be left with nothing but darkness. I know what it's like to become that darkness, how consuming it is. It's so much easier to hide in the night than to fight for the light. I also know how tempting it is not to feel any of those things. To shut everyone out so you never have to experience that kind of agony again. I know, Cal. I know.”
