Quote by James Conaway

“Everywhere I travel in America, I encounter a deep sense of loss; Americans have come to believe that growth and entitlement matter more than health and happiness in a country that, paradoxically, diminishes in prospect and comity even as it grows richer. The gap between ideals and means gets larger while access to public institutions--and public land--essential to our identity becomes more difficult.”

“For some grief is an illness, an infection. But for others, a lucky few, it is a dust, and if you can survive that initial storm when the sky turns black and dirt falls in great clumps from the sky, if you can do that and just hang on, you will discover something. The dust left behind by grief is really soil, richer and deeper than any you could find on this earth. Collect it, gather it gently together inside of you and wait. In the same way a great tree must first take seed and then be given space to grow, the memory of those you have lost seeks a place to put down roots. Give grief time and in turn it will give you what you seek. A place for the memory of your loved one to reside inside you for the rest of your days. That is the purpose of grief.”
