• Miscarrying is a horrible painful event. That just felt like something that needed to be addressed. I am by no means prescribing how people grieve.

• I can't help but react to the painful realities of the two-tiered society we live in, where the signs of poverty and inequity are everywhere.

We expect the no-option life cycle of the poor to be interrupted by the weak social safety net and then wonder why building more jails doesn't solve the problems.

• One must learn to love, and go through a good deal of suffering to get to it, like any knight of the grail, and the journey is always towards the other soul, not away from it. . . . To love you have to learn to understand the other, more than she understands herself, and to submit to her understanding of you. It is damnably difficult and painful, but it is the only thing which endures.

  D. H. Lawrence
