• I hold my face in my two hands. No, I am not crying. I hold my face in my two hands to keep the loneliness warm - two hands protecting, two hands nourishing, two hands preventing my soul from leaving me in anger.

    Nhat Hanh: I hold my face in my two hands.   No, I am not crying.  I hold my face in my two hands   to keep the loneliness warm -   two hands protecting,   two hands nourishing,   two hands preventing  my soul from leaving me   in anger.
