Several vegetarian and vegan options with a South Asian flair. It all sounded delicious.”

“Everything was malleable. The mind could build a city, remodel it, then raze it, all while you were taking a shower or shaving or having a piss. Once you began, however, that changed.

This was why the sleeper could not dream—his imagination writhed in his true-to-life gluttony.”

I watched him walk through the hills and come back in the evening when his work was through. I saw things no woman would see: that he knew how to cry, that he was alone. I cast myself at him, like a fool, but he didn't see me. And then one day he noticed I was beautiful and he wanted me. He broke me off and took me with him, in his hands, and I didn't care that I was dying until I actually was.”

“Everything we are,
nothing is really ever given to us.
We work for it.
We face our fears,
we walk against the wind,
we lose everything, again and again,
sometimes denied or betrayed
by the people that matter to us most.
We build and have it all taken away,
just to build it anew, from scratch.
Nothing of this world is every really gifted to us,
but if we hold on to the only gift that truly matters,
the will to live our life according to our soul's calling,
the Faith that there's something more to this life,
we find meaning in us being here.
We try to adjust, to fit in, to please,
but it always leads us back to ourselves,
back to what is True for us.
We are who we are,
we love what we love,
and that is the greatest gift we have.
The greatest gift we have to give.”
