It's uncanny how one finds the right book at the right time. This book comes with food for thought at a time of introspection. Here are some interesting quotes and phrases from it:
2. After digging, toiling in the darkness and dirt, we finally hit something concrete. I learned that rock bottom can actually be a springboard.
3....possessions that became objects as soon as they were dropped into the bag...
4. We all have something that unexpectedly derails us when we are motoring smoothly, blissfully, ardently.
5. Perhaps it is not death that angers or scares us, it's the fact that we have no control over it.
6. There is no end to the loss we can experience, but neither is there to the knowledge and growth that arises because of it and in spite of it.
7. Just because I've had my share of problems, I cannot become a fixer
8. Love is a tenuous, rarefied thing. Something to be prized and cherished displayed for all to see, not hidden away in a cupboard, or to feel ashamed of.
9. Life has roots and just like a tree in its quest for survival, those roots spread and stretch to find water, they possess the power to lift foundations , uproot anything in its path their reach is endless; their presence has an everlasting effect on some form or another. You can cut the tree down but you cannot kill what it started and all the life that sprung from it.
10. Death is a constant companion with us , watching us from the sidelines.
11. The more the world dislocates, the more we come together.
Everything that breaks around us, glues us together even tighter, because no matter how chaotic, everyone has to find their hiding place. Our hiding place is each other.
12. Hating goodbyes is not a justification for staying.
13. And fearing goodbyes is not a justification for leaving first.
14. Death rips people apart but it also has a way of stitching together those left behind together.
15. There's always one more thing to say ( at the cover page)
