Abigail Thomas Quote
I am trying to make sense of this. Survivor's guilt, acceptance, there were words that made me roll my eyes; surely I was too sophisticated for such cliches... So now today I look up the word acceptance and the definition is to receive gladly and that doesn't sound right. I flip to the back, and look up its earliest root, to rasp, and discover this comes from the old English for a thread used in weaving, and bingo, that's it. You can't keep pulling out the thread. You have to weave it in and then you have to go on weaving.
