“Loneliness, abandonment and despair are like oceans that fill your lungs. They press, press until your naked truth is pinned against an abyssal plain. They press until the ego disintegrates, until the inner immersion, until the suffocation by shadow. This is the sine qua non by which clean, pure love expands all your empty spaces and floats you to the surface as a graceful work of human art” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
