“Well, it best be soon, Grammy, or they’ll wilt… the gate may wait here right-fine, for you to cross paths again… but the flowers won’t. Why, I’m almost sure that they’ll be wilted come sun-up. Are you sure that you don’t want them now?”

even memory is not necessary for love. there is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love, the only survival, the only meaning.

As I am expecting my first child in February, I was glancing through Troy Mayr and Anthony Sweeney's "The Guide" to Southern California Sport Climbing and found this quote:

Jump.
It is not as wide as you think.
-Native American
