“My sorrow, my day upon day and night upon night of relentless grief is not for the mess the world is in, and it's not for my own morality; it's for my delicate heart and the wounds it had yet to endure. I grieve for all the suffering it has endured. I agonize over all that I have given to others and to the world, even as I've failed to live better myself. It's not the world's fault; it's my fragile heart's fault. We're not exempt from the world's injury, so we are doomed to suffer spiritual illness over time.”

“Before I can think to doubt her for whatever reason she hurries to charge my lowly spirit with her succulent lips. Reaching for her waist my hands feel for her flesh beyond her grey ribbed sweater. More to me than the beauty of the earth it is even her name that causes me to tremble when I am close to her. The propinquity of her lissome figure arched against my body is now soup to my broken heart. Her kiss and her touch allowing love and blood to again souse the channels hastening through my vascular body. My arms hold on to her like I can never let her go. Warming her nose against my face she again offers me those lips in that sure way of which I am familiar. Knowing now just as I always have that there can be no love worthy or memorable enough to ever take her place.”

“Gyo 行 ('practice' and also 'to practice') is what monks undergo in their training inside the temple; it's an ordeal, a trial to be mastered. And it never ends. You practice; you reach a new level; and then you practice again.”
