“You havent lost Iraki, you know. I dont know if it helps to say that. I lost a friend once myself, and I know how it goes. Hell find his way inside you, and youll carry him onward. Behind your heartbeat, youll hear another one, faint and out of step. People will say you are speaking his opinions, or your hair has turned like his. There are no more facts about him, that part is over. Now is the time for essential things. Youll see visions of him wherever you go. Youll see his eyes so moist, his intentions so blinding, youll think he is more alive than you. You will look around and wonder if it was you who died. Gradually youll grow older than him, and love him as your son. In the future, youll live astride the line separating life from death. Youll become experienced in the wisdom of grief. You wont wait until people die to grieve for them. Youll give them their grief while they are still alive, for then judgement falls away, and there remains only the miracle of being.” ― Rana Dasgupta, Solo
