overflows



History overflows time. Love overflows the allowance of the world. All the vessels overflow, and no end or limit stays put. Every shakable thing has got to be shaken. In a sense, nothing that was ever lost in Port William ever has been replaced. In another sense, nothing is ever lost, and we are compacted together forever, even by our failures, our regrets, and our longings. 

― Wendell Berry, Jayber Crow

    Beautiful and insightful. " . . . nothing is ever lost, and we are compacted together forever, even by our own failures, our regrets, and our longings." I find that very, very reassuring.
