It's the very last thing, isn't it, we feel grateful for: having happened. You know, you needn't have happened. You needn't have happened. But you did happen.

Douglas Harding

Born human,

I aspire to be more like the mountain,

Letting the world grow all over me,

Becoming so visible I disappear

Into becoming something else.

Sophie Wood

What makes it unbearable is your mistaken belief that it can be cured.

I want to know if you are willing

To live day by day

With the consequences of love

And the bitter unwanted passion

Of your sure defeat.

I have been told

In that fierce embrace

Even the gods

Speak of God

Seven Brief Lessons of Physics

When I say to the Moment flying,

'Linger a while -- thou art so fair!'

Then bind me in they boonds undying,

And my final ruin I will bear!

Marshall is smart, hot, and capable of anything. As long as he doesn't have to leave his apartment.

When Marshall learns his favorite niece's one birthday wish is for him to show up at her party, he realizes it's time to face his phobia and go outside.

It's just that there's some tidying up he needs to do, and the door is very far away, and there's a mysterious invisible creature rifling through his garbage that needs to be dealt with first.

Marshall needs help and doesn't know where to turn. Luckily for Marshall, someone needs his help too.
