“Some ghosts or felt presences may simply be the essence of another living person projected outward while sleeping.”

“Presence is the capacity to be present for another person with an open heart and to be grounded in our inner being. It is to be present for another person as a supporting light, as a supporting presence – and simply to be present with another person can help.”

“The essence of what I desire is simply this: to sleep away life.”

“Waiting. Simply one person doing nothing, over time, while another approached.”

“He experienced a familiar comfort being in the presence of another person's unknowable pain. More than any landscape, this place felt like home.”

“The popular notion that ghosts are likely to be seen in a graveyard is not borne out by psychical research... A haunting ghost usually haunts a place that a person lived in or frequented while alive... Only a gravedigger's ghost would be likely to haunt a graveyard.”
