“Some things are private. Some things needed to be said, even when the person who needed to hear them couldn’t hear anything. Ever again.”

“Some things don't need to be said. Some things need to be said. There I said it.”

“The last thing he ever said to me was, 'Just always be waiting for me, and then some night you will hear me crowing.”

“There were some things that needed to be said even if the person you were saying them to didn't understand; words that must be released from their trapped place where their flapping to get out could cause internal damage.”

“Each person's heart breaks in it's own way. Every cure will be different, but there are some things we all need. Before anything else, we need to feel safe.”

“It is one of the gifts of great spiritual teachers to make things simple. It is one of the gifts of their followers to complicate them again. Often we need to scrape away the accumulated complications of a master’s message in order to hear the kernel of what they said. (24)”
