our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running
from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as
giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most
vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we
discover the infinite power of our light.”

“We
are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going
to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could
have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day
outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include
greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because
the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of
actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our
ordinariness, that are here.We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth
against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior
state from which the vast majority have never stirred?”
