Today as people all over the world grow still and reflect, I acknowledge my need to be right, pretty, praiseworthy, successful, better-than, secure, important, strong, and independent, especially when I feel like I am none of these things.
As he gave up his spirit, so I give mine in response, and as I do a weight lifts slowly and unsteadily from me.
In the space left, there is room for suffering and sorrow, for helplessness and weakness, for failure and pain, for doubt and questions, for a total lack of words and for crying out.
I find solace in this knowledge: there is room for the aching depths of humanity in the anointed one who experienced everything.

The main problem I have with the banana is its packaging. …imagine someone starting to eat a banana. The person breaks open the peel, which always smooshes the top of the banana a little bit. That’s O.K. Whatever. But watch how the peel starts to drape over the hand. Now the banana is halfway eaten. The peel is now draping over the entire hand.

Howevs, a good wife, even a halfway decent one, does not spend most of her day thinking about herself. She has too much s**t to do, especially after having kids. This is why you see a lot of celebrity women getting husbands after they adopt. The kids put the woman on notice: Bitch, hello! It’s not all about you anymore! After a year or two of thinking about someone other than herself, suddenly, Brad Pitt or Harrison Ford comes along and decides to significantly other her.
