Quote by Daria Lavelle

“Charlie picked up his Spectral Sour, and tipped its cherry back into his mouth. He chewed. Tasted. Licked his lip. And Anna blipped back into existence, her face streaked with phosphorescent tears, like someone had broken a glow stick. She looked surprised to be there. "Charlie?" she whispered. "How did you know?" he asked, voice reverberating with pain. "How'd you know I was really going to do it? I didn't even know." "I know you like a book, babe." "You always did." He nodded, sniffing. "Guess it's time for a new chapter." They gazed at one another with the electric intensity of an imminent goodbye. "Have an incredible life, Charlie. And when you're done, find me in the next one, okay?" She pressed her radiant mouth to his, fighting all the boundaries between them, time and space and life and death, to try to make him feel her there, the ghost of their love story, its arc complete.”

“Disciple: Master, why do I feel so burdened even when I carry so little? Master: Because even little can feel heavy when you cling to it. Disciple: Then, should I let go of everything? Master: To carry nothing is to have room for everything. Disciple: But how can I hold onto nothing? Master: By not holding at all. What is yours will remain, what is not will flow away. Disciple: And what will remain, Master? Master: Only what fits into the space of an open hand.”

“When we’re HIGH on life, then it’s because we have managed to strip away and let go of all of the barriers within ourselves that hold us back from life’s pure signal; when we’re LOW on life (at rock bottom), then it’s because we stopped listening for so long that life stripped those barriers away and forced us to listen.”
