Quote by Shellen Lubin

“Whose life matters to you? Who do you speak for? Who do you defend? How large is your vision of the world? How much pain and destruction of others is too much for you to stand? We all must ask ourselves those questions right now. Ask and ponder and ask again. We all must ask each other these questions. And the answers will lead us to what we must do-- individually and collectively, small and large actions-- what we must do.”

“Grief is the hardest emotion to describe, because so much of it is numbness; it is also passive, something one undergoes rather than something one undertakes. It becomes difficult to locate oneself. When Maria went missing, a part of me did too. My capacity for love, which had always seemed elusive and equivocal even to me, was bound up in my relationship with her. I discovered that after her death. I had not known it before. It is a familiar story. There is nothing original about pain.”

“It isn't that easy It's just not as easy as saying try again and don't give up Life is teaching her repeatedly That pain is definitely something to shake off And she is staring at death in the face and saying I just can't do it anymore I'm ready Yet life picks her up and shows her the bright light But again as she walks toward the brightness it slowly fades away Always leaving her with never ending hope and shattered dreams.”
