“Because I don’t care what anyone says or how often or winningly they say it: no one will ever, ever be able to persuade me that life is some awesome, rewarding treat. Because, here’s the truth: life is a catastrophe. The basic fact of existence – of walking around trying to feed ourselves and find friends and whatever else we do – is a catastrophe. Forget all this ridiculous ‘Our Town’ nonsense everyone talks: the miracle of a newborn babe, the joy of one simple blossom, Life You Are Too Wonderful To Grasp, &c. For me – and I’ll keep repeating it doggedly till I die, till I fall over on my ungrateful nihilistic face and am too weak to say it: better never born, than born into this cesspool. Sinkhole of hospital beds, coffins, and broken hearts. No release, no appeal, no “do-overs” to employ a favored phrase of Xandra’s, no way forward but age and loss, and no way out but death.”

“The search that had defined so much of my life was transforming into a different kind of journey – one of integration, understanding, and eventually, inner peace, acceptance, and letting go of past hurts, loss, and trauma – simply appreciating the present moment. What had begun as a quest for origins was becoming something far more profound: a meditation on the nature of forgiveness, the elasticity of human connection, and the possibility that even the deepest wounds might, with time and courage, become sources of wisdom rather than only pain.” – The Kintsugi Poet”
