But if we don't have energy moving through us it can pool up and get swampy and heavy. All we see is this pool of grief and we begin to stare into it as Narcissus did. It can become a little bit self-indulgent. We're not honoring the people we're missing, the times of our lives that have changed, or the future that's waiting for us." None of the spirit people suggested Crystal bury or deny her grief, but rather that she find a way to move through it. Knowing she would be honoring them more by expressing her grief and letting it pass, rather than keeping it alive as a memorial, Crystal felt refreshed and optimistic about letting her usually cheerful nature surface once more. — Priscilla Keresey

Many get high from the sheer risk. — Hunter S. Thompson

Otherwise, that has no importance: a man's failures imply judgment, not of circumstances, but of himself. — Albert Camus

Oh merciful God, grant that the old Adam in this child may be so buried, that the new man may be raised up in her.... — M.L. Stedman
