Maybe we will drown or burn or starve one day, but until then we get to choose if we’ll add to that destruction or if we will care for each other.”

Rachel, what happens when we die? Where do we go?"
"Nowhere, Borne. We go into the ground and we don't come back out."
"I don't think that's true, Rachel. I think we go somewhere. Not to heaven or hell, but we go somewhere. I know we must go somewhere.

I am very small, and I don’t find myself wishing I were any bigger.

All I want, with my one tiny moment, is to love you.

If you remember anything about me, remember the truest thing: I will love you after all the stars have burned out, after the sun has died and ice has covered the earth, after the last human has taken her last breath.

I’m happy, so happy to be a tiny fleck of a thing alongside you. We may just be moments, June, but to love a handful of people very well, that’s a good life.

I was just a blip, a spark, the blink of God’s eyes. Because of you, it was more than enough. It was everything.

I was just a moment, and you gave me a million Junes.

I was just a moment, and you made me forever.

Hope hurts. That’s what you need to learn, and fast, if you don’t want it to cut you open from the inside out. Hope is bad. Hope means you keep on holding to things that won’t ever be so again, and so you bleed an inch at a time until there’s nothing left.

The difference between hope and no hope is the difference between light and no light. It is the difference between dreams and no dreams, ambition and no ambition, joy and no joy, peace and no peace, tomorrow and no tomorrow.

Arise Reborn! by Stewart Stafford

In cosy choice, the complacent lie,
Teasing open the serpent's eye,
To outflank, usurp then suppress,
A deceiver's mask under duress.

Delusion lays a gossamer snare,
Flicking forked tongues tasting air,
Devotion to clan, a dying dream,
Delirious mining of treachery's seam.

Battle drums as heroes rise,
Saving tribe and land by surprise,
The call to action, your country's plea,
The broad church of necessity.

Lessons echo in infancy's steps,
Territory gained, homeland re-annexed,
Skirmishes coalesce in a patriot's war,
To campfire tales of visionary valour.

Beautiful things take time but the wait is the best part. The anticipation, the hope, that’s what keeps everyone alive. That’s what makes us, us. Our desire to see our wishes come true. Our desire to one day touch the stars and not be afraid of the emptiness beneath us.

I think there is a place where hopefulness and hopelessness co-exist,
one of my beloved contradictory co-existing realities
(what others call a paradox,
but paradoxes can be mis-defined themselves,
not owning their true contrari-ness and/or co-existence):
something like joy-and-hope-in-the-process-of-being-and-becoming,
something like awareness-of-distant-goals-without-attachment-to-getting-them, something like satisfaction-in-dissatisfaction.

Like riding a roller coaster,
being and feeling where it is and feeling where it's going
all at the same time,
since where it's going is part of where it is, and,
whatever the now is, it will never
stay there.

Something like life.

Until I was twenty-three, I was filled with rage because the Turks took my sister and beat my mother in front of my eyes until she died. But when I was twenty-three, I felt this was not the right way to be a man, so I began to pray to God so He would see me. I was making peace with myself. Now I am ready to meet my God. I am at peace. Last year when the big earthquake happened in Turkey, it killed so many Turks. And I prayed for those Turks-I prayed for those poor Turkish people.

My brother died five years ago, for instance. I sometimes dream of him; he takes part in my affairs, we are very much interested, and yet all through my dream I quite know and remember that my brother is dead and buried. How is it that I am not surprised that, though he is dead, he is here beside me and working with me? Why is it that my reason fully accepts it?
