“Most of the time the universe speaks to us very quietly in pockets of silence, in coincidences, in nature, in forgotten memories, in the shape of clouds, in moments of solitude, in small tugs at our hearts.”

— Yumi Sakugawa

“Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.”

— C. G. Jung, from Memories, Dreams, Reflections (Pantheon, 1963)

“How vulnerable we would all be if longing shone through our bodies, if our skins were translucent lanterns flushed with yellow flame leaping in the strange and unpredictable winds of our desire, like the neon Morse code fireflies use to brazenly flick the night.”

"if you still care , it won't be hard"
