“At the cruising height, Charlie could see how little light still burned in the country below. So much of the land cloaked in darkness. All the space between cities and towns, connecting mountains to rivers, shore to shore. The darkness held America together. Looking down at a black immensity, Charlie saw the darkness as its own kind of beauty, experiencing for once the full shape of it, its beginning endless, its end ceaselessly moving. A form that held all the power of the universe and, without sound or grievance, gave every bit of that power all away.”

“Things are getting ugly very quickly, and I see the fault lines getting darker, thicker, more deeply embedded in the ground where we tread. I see clearly, quickly the ones who are expendable for too many people who are still comfortable or believe they are comfortable or believe they are somehow exempt from the wrath of those trying to turn back time to a world of kings and lords and peasants, artists begging for pennies town to town, lordly religious righteousness, and pagans and witches and those who are disabled or just 'different' burned at the stake.”

“Sadness sometimes becomes you and it isn’t beautiful. But eventually, you move through it. We take different levels, different strides, as we all live separate lives. Appreciate the sadness. Love the sadness, but love it because it lives with you. Demons aren’t attracted to worth. But don’t romanticize sadness. Don’t romanticize depression. Don’t romanticize mental illness. You don’t romanticize pain.”
