The Interdiction of Remaining

1. Before you forget everything, remember this—I too once walked that same path...Remember...remember...

2. The fruit of waiting is not always sweet. Sometimes waiting punishes us by demanding we wait even longer still.

3. Be well, but do not linger simply to bid me to be well.

4. Walk slowly...or else you will catch me too soon...

5. Death is the greatest, death is joy, death is victory...

6. I remember all your promises; that is why, when you come to mind, I am afraid.

7. My eyes, cool as rush mats, have only lost to the contempt that lives in yours.

8. I am one of those who should have died before ever being born.

9. Go now...you must go...I am telling you...this is the moment...go...go...

10. In learning to speak the language of the body, the heart has gone mute.
