Wanting him to come back before anyone notices part of the world has not moved since he left.

Things they tell you before you were born (in case you were wondering why a lot of this stuff seems vaguely familiar) 1. Life will bump up against you & it'll be awhile before you stop taking it personally but the sooner you do that, the easier it gets. 2. It's all about Love. Even the parts you decide are really hard. 3. You're not going to have to do this alone, but you're going to take awhile to figure that out, too, especially if you end up in America.

Rules for making the world:1. Stand up & do the thing you see needs doing.2. That's it.(If it was easy, we'd be having a different conversation.)—Action Plan

Start here & go until you die, he said. What's so complicated about that?

It is not what you first think. There is no effort of will, no firm resolve in the face of this thing called living. There is only paying attention to the quiet each morning, while you hold your cup in the cool air & then that moment you choose to spread your love like a cloth upon the table & invite the whole day in again.
