“White bee, even when you are gone you buzz in my soulYou live again in time, slender and silent.”
“I am gone tomorrow. And there and gone again by the time you read this.”
“This world is made of darkness and light, my girl, and in the darkest times you have to believe the sun will come again, even if you yourself don't live to see it.”
“A bee is never as busy as it seems; it's just that it can't buzz any slower.”
“But you have gone now, all of you that were so beautiful when you were quick with life. Yet not gone, for you are still a living truth inside my mind. So how are you dead, my brothers and sisters, and all of you , when you live with me as surely as I live with myself.”
“Sometimes you cry, Susie, even when someone you love has been gone a long time.”
