“I want to do the right thing, but often I don't know just what the right thing is. Every day I know I have come short of what I would like to have done. Yet as the years pass and I see the very world itself, with its oceans and mountains and plains, as something unfinished, a peculiar little satisfaction hunts out the corners of my heart. Sunsets and evening shadows find me regretful at tasks undone, but sleep and the dawn and the air of the morning touch me with freshening hopes.
Strange things blow in through my window on the wings of the night wind and I don't worry about my destiny.”

I don’t mean to imply that I value the life of a fish or a bird the same way I value a human life, but their presence in the world has as much validity as does your presence. Perhaps moore: they were here first; they are foundational to us. They take only what they need. They are compatible with the life around them. On their watch, the world lasted. They are not the same as us, but they experience their lives vividly; they burn brightly. We’ve taken much of what they need, dimming their candle. They enliven the world beautifully…

BELLRINGER: Dick Grayson had heard that Oswald Cobblepot had drawn up a detailed plan to rob a local bank. He brought Oswald in for questioning, and naturally, Cobblepot was struck with one of his memory lapses. Oswald denied the existence of such a plan at first, but finally broke down and agreed to tell the truth. Oswald said he thought he was being tailed, so he ducked into the local library and hid his plan in a book. He said he was certain it was between pages 125 and 126, but he had been so intent on committing those numbers to memory that he had forgotten the name of the book. "It's obvious you're lying, " said Dick. What's wrong with Cobblepot's explanation?

To love someone long-term is to attend a thousand funerals of the people they used to be. The people they're too exhausted to be any longer. The people they grew out of, the people they never ended up growing into. We so badly want the people we love to get their spark back when it burns out, to become speedily found when they are lost.
But it is not our job to hold anyone accountable to the people they used to be. It is our job to travel with them between each version and to honor what emerges along the way. Sometimes it will be an even more luminescent flame. Sometimes it will be a flicker that temporarily floods the room with a perfect and necessary darkness. ~Heidi Priebe

You cannot save anyone. You can be present with them, offer your groundedness, your sanity, your peace. You can even share your path with them, offer your perspective. But you cannot take away their pain. You cannot walk their path for them. You cannot give answers that are right for them, or even answers they can digest right now. They will have to find their own answers. ~Jeff Foster

Do not live half a life
and do not die a half death
If you choose silence, then be silent
When you speak, do so until you are finished
If you accept, then express it bluntly
Do not mask it
If you refuse then be clear about it
for an ambiguous refusal is but a weak acceptance
Do not accept half a solution
Do not believe half truths
Do not dream half a dream
Do not fantasize about half hopes
Half the way will get you no where

Seven men got out of the two cars and were walking along the footpath when it began to rain. Six of the men began to walk faster to get out of the rain but the seventh man couldn't be bothered.
