Friendship is a simple thing, and yet complicated; friendship is on the surface, something natural, something taken for granted, and yet underneath one could find worlds. 
(~Jamaica Kincaid)
There's nothing like deep breaths after laughing that hard. Nothing in the world like a sore stomach for the right reasons. 
(~Stephen Chbosky)
Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby. 
(~Langston Hughes)
This house is deteriorating. My body is dying. We are subject to the same terrible decay. But worth is not measured in such terms. Once upon a time, God called His creation good. And no curse of sin unwound these words. Gnarled maple trees. Plaster walls. An ordinary woman's ordinary body. All good. To care for these is to say to death, "You are not the end."
(~Christie Purifoy, Roots & Sky)

Then October. Everything feels fresh again. The marigolds and zinnias pass the baton of their colors on to the trees. The sky regains that clarity of blue we only ever see in the fall.

If you lose hope, doesn't a part of you die?
