"Grief is like sinking, like being buried. I am in water the tawny color of kicked-up dirt. Every breath is full of choking. There is nothing to hold on to, no sides, no way to claw myself up. There is nothing to do but let go.Let go. Feel the weight all around you, feel the squeezing of your lungs, the slow, low pressure. Let yourself go deeper. There is nothing but bottom. There is nothing but the taste of metal, and the echoes of old things, and days that look like darkness."

"Stolen moments create a feeling of enjoyment in our "intensive time awareness. The glow and the intensity of those instants can guide us throughout a whole lifetime. They can expose a second or a third dimension of the daily events and shed an expounding light on all the little details we encounter. ['Stolen moments']"

Mindfulness

"Understanding may become "misunderstanding, if no commitment or no responsibilities are assumed, no specific objectives set, no definite expectations met and common values and interests no longer shared. Mutual understanding may then, against all odds, end up in heartache, confusion and bewilderment. ['Mutual understanding']"

Relationship

"When words have vanished, when daily habits have extinguished emotional exchange, only killing silence remains and indifference takes over. ['Words had disappeared']"

Communication

"When our consciousness has become a haven of illusions, our mind may have a hard time to fight the maze in our thinking. Only anchor points from our past and the innocence of our childhood might give back the core of what we are. ['Not without the past']"

Memory

"Memory may be pig-headed and want us to follow its whims along the blips and dips of our time line. ['All the words he always wanted to tell her.']"

Memory

"Being caught up in a game without having a clue about the rules, may be extremely maddening and frustrating. Liberty may be so frightening and grueling, that many don't conceal their passion for rules and regulations, since these can give a relieving feeling of security and protection. ['When forgetting the rules of the game']"

Philosophy

"In a world spoiled by the obituary of attention and the dormancy of empathy, people are coming up short of authentic emotion. ['The upper lip must never tremble']"

Emotion

"When a soothing wind blows gently love through the thistledown of expectations, hope may inveigle the future for timeless care and tenderness to be anchored in a bay of good luck. ['Happiness blowing in the wind']"

Happiness

"It's hard to safeguard a genuine life course, when love tips over from endearing care into tedium, through laziness of imagination or loss of interest, and the storyline becomes barren and desolate, insipidly dull, turning into a threadbare act with the same trite modus operandi. "The same procedure as every year, James! ['Things needing to be changed']"

Relationship

"Relatedness is vital in a time when so many people suffer from social deafness. Emotional insensitivity being caused by a redoubtable "tin ear makes it impossible to hear any signs of empathy or capture the vibrant qualities of 'sharing'. ['Only needed a light ']"
