May the roof over your head be always strong.
And may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you’re dead.”

Don't let the rain drive you to the wrong shelter; the shade can turn out to be your protector and also your destroyer, and sometimes the rain is the perfect protector from the rain.

“Once upon a time, when women were birds, there was the simple understanding that to sing at dawn and to sing at dusk was to heal the world through joy. The birds still remember what we have forgotten, that the world is meant to be celebrated.”

He who lives to forget his past lives to die of his past. Knowing the past, and keeping the past helps us to shape the future and may avoid past disaster repeating.

@HachiBianca I know exactly what you mean, but I've never been able to put it into words like that. I just take it day by day, and slowly I find my new normal. As that happens, there's less pain. I lost my last cat years ago, but I always have a photo of her out.
