"There are moments of clarity daily. They open me up with a breath and keep me calm. They feed me the answers. And they hold me lovingly. They are gospelstiches. My childish ***** has got to let them heal. This feud Iâ€™m having with myself isnâ€™t even original. But it is thick and rooted. Hereâ€™s to today, slowing down, suspending judgment, and breast strokes through chaos."

“I wonder how many marriages are fractured and damaged beyond repair by complacency rather than any single traumatic event. One day you wake up and realize that the distance between you and your spouse has grown to such an enormous width that neither of you are capable of clearing the distance. No matter how much speed you build up, or how far you can jump, it's just there. Gaping and unforgiving.”
