Mark Nepo
It’s next to impossible to do this
alone. We need the loving truth of
others to be well. Inevitably, some
come with us are forever changed
while others watch as we’re forced
out to sea. It’s the power of love that
enables those who come along,
where a language of experience
is unearthed that can’t be translated
to those that stay behind.
