Since I shared that quote from Beau Taplin, I looked a little into who he is and other quotes from him. I am not totally sure if the quote I posted today about you has to do with death although it does apply and Sarah Curry used it in reference to her mother Tina. Oh, well. He is a young contemporary poet from Australia. Here we go:
"Listen to me, your body is not a temple. Temples can be destroyed and desecrated. Your body is a forest-thick canopies of maple trees and sweet scented wildflowers sprouting in the underwood. You will grow back, over and over, no matter how badly you are devastated."
"She was unstoppable. Not because she didn't have failures or doubts, but because she continued on despite them."
"I've always been enchanted by the endings of things. Series finales and sunsets. Last paragraphs and encores. I think for the way they remind me that losing something you love isn't always sad and heartbreaking, but sometimes breathtaking and beautiful."
"Sunsets are proof that endings can often be beautiful too."
(You loved sunsets! Love you boy!)
