from Sleep Elevations by Maia Flore
“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly despairing, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.” —Agatha Christie, An Autobiography
“Suddenly I realize
That if I stepped out of my body I would break
Into blossom.”
-from “A Blessing” by James Wright
