Quote by Emmanuella Raphaelle

“Today I decide to let go. I let go of my grasp on people, things, thoughts, feelings, expectations and outcomes. And though I acknowledge my desires, I acknowledge I do not control anything. Letting go activates my faith and allows God to send what is meant for me. Letting go helps me because holding on does not. Holding on will not change the situation, the person, the problem or the thing. But letting go sets me free to accept that life is just as it is meant to be. An experience full of open spaces for new outcomes, new opportunities and new possibilities.”

“I mean... There have been moments when I read something in a book that feels like it was written just for me. Like the author reached inside my brain, took all the thoughts I didn't know how to express, and put them into a perfect paragraph. And in those moments, I've felt so utterly connected to a person I didn't know that it made me think, 'Yes, the world can be hard, and people can be awful to each other. But there is also so much beauty in the fact that we can recognize each other like that.'" She diffled with her straw. "I want to be able to give that feeling to other people.”

“It's Never Too Late…to Celebrate Yourself. Everything you’ve done deserves your favorable awareness. Be it your relationships, your successes and your triumphant failures. They all led you here. Today, pause to recognize and celebrate the big things and little things. You accomplished them. Turn your attention inward and cheer for the things you have yet to bring forth. Accept them as done. Celebrate all that you are made of and who you are becoming. You are worth it.”

“The library was ... scattered with odd cushions and strange padded built-in furniture added a few years ago to placate the rioting students of the time, who could never seem to make up their minds whether they were angriest about Viet Nam, about being made to learn a foreign language, or about being made to sit at a hard wooden desk while they did it. The College, being unable to do anything about Viet Nam and unwilling to do anything about the foreign language requirement, had reformed the furniture in the library.”

“Uni tuli viereeni seisomaan ja tarttui kylmään käteeni. Ja uni vei minut vuoteelle istumaan ja käski minun hyväillä itseään ja minä hyväilin. Ja uni riisui minulta vaatteet ja sitten itsensä ja meni peiton alle. Ja uni kohotti hymyillen täkinkulmaa ja pyysi minua tulemaan viereensä lämpimään ja lämmittämään itseään ja minä menin. Ja uni suuteli minua ja piti raskasta päätäni kaksin käsin ja vannoi minulle rakkautta. Ja uni painautui minua vasten ja minä hyväilin unen painavaa lämmintä vartaloa ja uni hyväili minun kylmää ruumistani ja minä vapisin. Ja uni tarttui minun sykkivään jäykkyyteeni ja avasi minulle suuren syvän sylinsä ja kuiskasi minua tulemaan. Ja uni opasti minut sisäänsä ja minä menin.”
