Brian Francis Slattery Quotes

I Have Been To So Many Funerals Now. We Bury Them In The Gray Soil, Stand Over The Mounds, Lean On Our Shovels. Say The Same Words Again And Again. But There Are Pregnancies Too, Children Coming. A Woman Like A Great Egg. Another Just Conceived. They Help Us Dig, Then Turn And Spit Into The Earth. They Will Not Say It, But They Cannot Keep It All In Either. For Their Coming Children Are Their Hopes Embodied, Their Faith Made Flesh, That All That Is Ending Is Beginning Again. For The World Will Not Be Fallen To Their Children. It Will Only Be The World, New As They Are. And Perhaps If We Tell Them Enough, If We Say The Right Thing, They Will See A Way Out, And Know What To Do.
