“No small thing, a bee's stingWhen it enters the heartNot so benign, the growing vineWhen it tears stone apart”
“When things fall apart, the broken pieces allow all sorts of things to enter, and one of them is the presence of God.”
“Because life goes on, L. The birds do their thing, and the bees do theirs. Seeds get scattered, and everything grows back.”
“Life is not so idiotically mathematical that only the big eat the small; it is just as common for a bee to kill a lion or at least to drive it mad.”
“I am a woman and my business is to hold things together.My business is to tear them apart.”
“It was a small thing, but it was a thing, and things have a way of either dying or growing, and it wasn’t dying.”
