“Love is everywhere, but if our eyes aren't open to see it, we miss out. Who among us hasn't missed out on love because we were looking for it in one package and it came in another? Our problem is rarely a lack of love so much as a mental block to our awareness of its presence.*” IfsProblemEyeLove IsAwarenessMissingBlockPackagesLack Of Love Author:Marianne Williamson
“I was staying in a hotel in San Francisco for a couple of nights, before flying back to the UK. My hotel was a desperate grey block made from paper and people’s screams. At night the sound of strangers having icy sex echoed off the building and poured through the broken air conditioning, like tiny daggers I couldn't see, reminding me of just the tip of what I was missing.” PeopleMadeNightSexSoundAirMissingBuildingBrokenCouplePaperStrangerTinyFlyingBlockDesperateHotelStayingScreamGreySan FranciscoConditioningRemindingIcyDaggersAir Conditioning Author:Craig Stone
“Missing someone has to be one of the worst human emotions. All the other feelings like anger and fear and horror get some much more airplay, as if their intensity gives them more value, but whereas those emotions come in violent bursts and are gone again, the gnawing ache of loss has to be simply endured. It's like background noise, it's always there, it never goes away. You just have to try to block it out, distract yourself, hope that tomorrow the hole they left behind has grown a little smaller.” IfsGivingTryingHumansLittlesFeelingsValuesLeftLossEmotionBehindsGoneWorstMissingTomorrowHorrorViolentBackgroundsHolesNoiseBlockIntensityAcheLeft BehindMissing SomeoneHuman EmotionsAnger And FearBackground Noise Author:Alexandra Potter
“Mercy Watson is obsessed with toast. What was blocking me was the challenge of trying to understand what she loves, what motivates her. That was the missing piece.

Without that element in place, it didn't make sense.” TryingChallengesPiecesMissingElementsMercyGreedObsessionBlockSymbolsHopefullyMake SenseObsessedToastsWatsonEndearingMissing Piece Author:Kate DiCamillo
