Let the unknown child knock and knock against you and rise like a dolphin within.

  • When death comes, we take off our clothes and gather everything we left behind: what is dark, broken, touched with shame. When Death demands we give an accounting, naked we present our lives in bundles. See how much these weigh, we tell him, refusing to deny what we have lived.

Never leave behind what the light shone on.
