Quote by Shellen Lubin

“Sometimes all you can do is wait. Sometimes you have to just keep your distance, let other people do what they have to do, figure things out for themselves. Sometimes all you can do is let things play out the way they need to.”

“The tree is waiting. It has everything already. Its fallen leaves are mulching the forest floor, and its roots are drawing up the extra winter moisture, providing a firm anchor against seasonal storms. Its ripe cones and nuts are providing essential food in this scarce time for mice and squirrels, and its bark is hosting hibernating insects and providing a source of nourishment for hungry deer. It is far from dead. It is, in fact, the life of the wood. It's just getting on with it quietly. It will not burst into life in the spring. It will just put on a new coat and face the world again.”

“A drooping twist of his mouth had replaced the slightly mischievous smile. One could discern in his eyes, an uncertainty, a vacancy, a slowly creeping sense of certain death. Our words of reassurance were hollow and devoid of confidence: he ignored them. His bouts of sobbing became more frequent, but he didn't leap back to normality as he did earlier: he withdrew into a flat sullenness. It was as if he was bereft of all emotions, and there was nothing to express. There was just that waiting for death.”
