She died that night. Her last breath took her soul, I saw it in my dream. I saw her soul leave her body as she exhaled, and then she had no more needs, no more reason; she was released from her body, and, being released, she continued her journey elsewhere, high in the firmament where soul material gathers and plays out all the dreams and joys of which we temporal beings can barely conceive, all the things what are beyond our comprehension, but even so, are not beyond our attainment if we choose to attain them, and believe that we truly can. Garth Stein
About This Quote

If you read the above quote, you’ll realize that it’s an expression of hope for the future. It is a line from a poem. The poet writes this poem at a time when he feels despair. He is in the midst of a very difficult situation, and he feels that his life is falling apart.

All he wants to do is stop fighting against the circumstances that are causing him pain. His only desire is to stop fighting against his circumstances. However, what he doesn’t know is that fighting isn’t the right way to go about solving the problems that are causing him pain.

Sometimes, fighting is what pushes us forward in life, but sometimes, fighting can be what pushes us back.
