“Death, whoever and whatever you are, tallest king of
tall kings, grant me these wishes: unstring my bones;
let me be not one thing but all things, and wondrously
scattered; shake me free from my name. Let the wind, and
the wildflowers, and the catbird never know it. Let
time loosen me like the bead of a flower form its wrappings
of leaves. Let me begin the changes, let me—” —Mary Oliver (via awakeinthedream) (via awritersruminations)

“In the evening, I would add up how many miles I’d done, and the miles I had left to do, and I could divide out the miles and the days to reassure myself that I was on track and on time. I could reassure myself that I was doing exactly what I was supposed to be doing. And when I got to California, the good fairy would tap me on the shoulder and I’d be free from the ache that lurked over my shoulder and pounced when I stopped at some roadside diner, or sat in my tent at night. The ache that grew inside my skin and seized hold of my heart so that there wasn’t room for anything else - anything else except pedaling, and pedaling, and pedaling.”
—A Love Story Starring My Dead Best Friend by Emily Horner
“‘Look. Despite what you may have heard, people have sex all the time with people they don’t love, or particularly care about, or sometimes can’t even stand. So why in the world do people say that it’s just friends, like it doesn’t matter as much, if you’re not having sex? Real friendship is true and forever and with all your heart. It’s not Relationship Lite.’
I nodded slowly. Something inside me went, Oh; it seemed like she’d just put into words something I’d been stumbling and stumbling over for I don’t know how long.” —A Love Story Starring My Dead Best Friend by Emily Horner
