“The women in your family have never lost touch with one another. Death is a path we take to meet on the other side.”

“To see the beauty of the world is to put your hands on lines that run uninterrupted through life and through death. Touching them is an act of hope, for perhaps someone on the other side, if there is another side, is touching them, too.”

“End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path. One that we all must take.”

“We are all bumbling along,side by side, week in, week out, our paths similar in some ways and different in others, all apparently running parallel. But parallel lines never meet.”

“We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.”

“I envision a world filled with women traveling alone and meeting each other on the path.”
