Life, it turns out, goes on. there is no cosmic rule that grants you immunity from the details just because you have come face-to-face with a catastrophe. the garbage can still overflow, the bills arrive in the mail, telemarketers, interrupt dinner.

Garbage Cans Details Goes On

More From Jodi Picoult

The organic gardener does not think of throwing away the garbage. she knows that she needs the garbage. she is capable of transforming the garbage into compost, so that the compost can turn into lettuce, cucumber, radishes, and flowers again...with the energy of mindfulness, you can look into the garbage and say: i am not afraid. i am capable of transforming the garbage back into love.

Have you noticed that they put advertisements in with your bills now? like bills aren't distasteful enough, they have to stuff junk mail in there with them. i get back at them. i put garbage in with my check when i mail it in. coffee grinds, banana peels...i write, "could you throw this away for me?"

Welcome to fight club. the first rule of fight club is: you do not talk about fight club. the second rule of fight club is: you do not talk about fight club! third rule of fight club: if someone yells “stop!”, goes limp, or taps out, the fight is over. fourth rule: only two guys to a fight. fifth rule: one fight at a time, fellas. sixth rule: the fights are bare knuckle. no shirt, no shoes, no weapons. seventh rule: fights will go on as long as they have to. and the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at fight club, you have to fight.

Where man had been, in every place he left, garbage remained. even in his pursuit of the ultimate truth and quest for his god, he produced garbage. by his garbage, which lay stratum upon stratum, he could always - one had only to dig - be known. for more long-lived than man is his refuse. garbage alone lives after him.
Men Long Quests
Our bodies are garbage heaps: we collect experience, and from the decomposition of the thrown-out eggshells, spinach leaves, coffee grinds, and old steak bones out of our minds come nitrogen, heat, and very fertile soil. out of this fertile soil bloom our poems and stories. but this does not come all at once. it takes time. continue to turn over and over the organic details of your life until some of them fall through the garbage of discursive thoughts to the solid ground of black soil.
Coffee Fall Black
Thanksgiving dinner's sad and thankless. christmas dinner's dark and blue. when you stop and try to see it from the turkey's point of view. sunday dinner isn't sunny. easter feasts are just bad luck. when you see it from the viewpoint of a chicken or a duck. oh how i once loved tuna salad pork and lobsters, lamb chops too till i stopped and looked at dinner from the dinner's point of view.
Easter Sunday Dark

A narcissist society, in which each person is busy looking out for number one, can build neither brotherhood nor community. aren't we glad in this easter season and in all seasons that jesus did not selfishly look out for number one? no wonder we have been told, 'thou shalt have no other gods before me,' and this includes self-worship! (ex. 20:3; emphasis added). one way or another, the grossly selfish will finally be shattered, whimpering, against the jagged, concrete consequences of their selfishness.
