Who never laughed or played
He never risked, he never tried,
He never sang or prayed.
And when he on day passed away,

For since he never really lived,
They claimed he never really died.

(Anonymous poem)”

“If we stay where we are, where we're stuck, where we're comfortable and safe, we die there. We become like mushrooms, living in the dark, with poop up to our chins. If you want to know only what you already know, you're dying. You're saying: Leave me alone; I don't mind this little rathole. It's warm and dry. Really, it's fine.

When nothing new can get in, that's death. When oxygen can't find a way in, you die. But new is scary, and new can be disappointing, and confusing - we had this all figured out, and now we don't.

New is life.”
― Anne Lamott, Help Thanks Wow: The Three Essential Prayers

― Michael Bassey Johnson

“Stop entertaining two faced people. You know the ones who have split personalities and untrustworthy habits. Nine times out of ten if they telling you stuff about another person, they're going to tell your business to other people. If they say, "You know I heard........."
