How quickly someone else's life can enter through the cracks we don't know are there until this foreign thing is inside of us. We are more porous than we know.

About This Quote

This saying is interesting in that it is not only about the possibility of life passing through us, but how we can open ourselves up to life. The idea is that we are porous and more than we know. We can let the world pass through us or we can close ourselves off and not allow life to pass through us.
