Mary E. Pearson
Chance. It weaves through our lives like a golden thread, sometimes knotting, tangling, and breaking along the way. Loose threads are left hanging, but the in and out, the back and forth continues, the weaving goes on. It doesn't stop.
Mary E. Pearson
Maybe we all have a dark place inside of us, a place where dark thoughts and darker dreams live, but it doesn't have to become who we are.
Mary E. Pearson
It can take years to mold a dream. It takes only a fraction of a second for it to be shattered.

Mary E. Pearson
I created an icicle sculpture in the snow. White on white.
Mary E. Pearson
Boredom reigns on all levels. The rain is a welcome change. I have seen the pond swell and the creek surge. I press my palm against the glass, imagining the drops on my skin, imagining where they started out, where they will go, feeling them like a river, rushing, combining, becoming something greater than how they started out.
Mary E. Pearson
I don't want five hundred billion neural chips. I want guts.
Mary E. Pearson
One small changed family doesn't calculate into a world that has been spinning for a billion years. But one small change makes the world spin differently in a billion ways for one family.
Mary E. Pearson
Father says it will come in time. “Time heals,” he says. I don’t tell him that I don’t know what time is.
Mary E. Pearson
What I think is all I have left. My mind is the only thing that makes me different from a fancy toaster. What we think does matter-it's all we truly have.
Mary E. Pearson
He believes me. But that is nothing new. He always did because I was a rule follower. I played by the rules he understood. But there are new rules now, ones he doesn't know yet. He'll learn. Just as I'm learning.
Mary E. Pearson
Are the details of our lives who we are, or is it owning those details that makes the difference?
Mary E. Pearson
