Quote by Mark Slouka

“I lost my father this past year, and the word feels right because I keep looking for him. As if he were misplaced. As if he could just turn up, like a sock or a set of keys.”

“And yet from what is to what could be you cross a bridge that takes you, no more, no less, from Hell to Paradise. And more bizarre: a Paradise composed of the exact same material as Hell. The only difference is our perception of the material’s arrangement – more easily understood by imagining it applied to ethical and emotional architectures – yet it’s enough to pinpoint the immeasurable difference. If the reality created by people whose half-mast emotions and sensations disallow, now and perhaps forever, the other architecture or, in other words, the revolutionary re-synthesis, then, to my thinking, only the spirit is free and able to take it on.”

“Stop there, Breathe. For a while you need to leave, live. Stop pushing your face into that photo called past, stuck in the photo frame of time. Stop scratching your heart, give the wound time to heal. For i know, when the photo frame falls down, the broken pieces of glass fall apart, just like memories. But no, you want to keep it to the chest, close to your heart. You know you shouldn't but you're too coward to let go. It keep sucking your heart, into a black hole of muddy memories. Making you a dark shattered soul, incapable of finding solace. So stop. For a while let's just live. Let's just breathe. Let's just love ourselves, for it's you who need it the most.”
