“The whole house seemed to exhale a melancholy breath of emptiness”
“Inhale when I inhale. Exhale when I exhale. Breathe with me,for two beating hearts breathing one breath together become one.”
“Breathing, it seemed to me, was a proper attribute for the mountains... mountains that quietly functioned as a single thing with a rhythmic inhale-exhale I could feel...”
“When one person is missing the whole world seems empty.”
“As I stood there,hushed and still,I could swear that the house was not an empty shell but lived and breathed as it had lived before.”
“From the house of unbeliefto true religionis a single breath;From the world of doubtto certaintyis a single breath;Enjoy this precious single breath,for the harvestof our whole livesis that same one breath.”
