Brian’s collected pieces, volume by volume.
When all that’s left of a hopeful marriage is a pile of ashes and no children, no home, no friendship and no future, you’d better find something to go on living. The answers will come when you sit in those ashes like the hopeless heap of humanity you currently are, and then begin to sift through the gritty carbon, turning your eyes to the heavens while asking to be shown all you cannot see.
