We all got holes in our lives

Waiting patiently for the blue sky to make its way into my spirit.

“We all got holes in our lives. Nobody dies in a perfect garment. We all got to face the nothingness before us and behind. Call it sleep. We all begin in sleep and thats’ where we find our end. Even in between, sleep keeps trying to claim us. To stay awake in life as much as possible – that may be the point.”

“We do know that no one gets wise enough to really understand the heart of another, though it is the task of our life to try.” – both, Louise Erdrich, The Bingo Palace

“Still, something deeply sad had been born buried in me, stirring occasionally inside like a creature moving in sleep.” – Lorrie Moore, Who Will Run the Frog Hospital?

“Her life stayed closer to the skin than most people’s.” – Alan Gurganus, Blessed Assurance
