“Deep assignments run through all our lives; there are no coincidences.”
“But chance runs like a river through all our lives, and being prepared for surprise is the best we can do.”
“In the existence of our lives, there is a single coincidence that brings us together and for a moment, our hearts beat as one.”
“If I run or breathe too deep, the cheap stitches holding me together will snap, and all the stickiness inside will pour out and burn through the concrete.”
“It will rain all this night and we will sleep transfixed by the dark water as our blood runs through our fragile life.”
“Imagination runs through the places where we live like water. We need both things-a living knowledge of the land and a live imagination of it and our place in it- if we are going to preserve it.”
