    unpick the lock of your bones.
    In other words
    take off the wall
    that separates you from God.”

    “What generous beliefs console
    The brave whom Fate denies the goal!
    If others reach it, is content:
    To Heaven’s high will his will is bent.
    Firm on his heart relied,
    What lot soe’er betide,
    Work of his hand
    He nor repents nor grieves,
    Pleads for itself the fact,
    As unrepenting Nature leaves
    Her every act.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
