“I know life well
enough to know you can’t count on things staying around or
standing still, no matter how much you want them to. You
can’t stop people from dying. You can’t stop them
from going away. You can’t stop yourself from going away
either. I know myself well enough to know that no one else can
keep you awake or keep you from
sleeping.”
“Stars in the sky,
stars on the ground. It’s hard to tell where the sky ends
and the earth begins.
I feel the need to say something grand and poetic,
but the only thing I come up with is “It’s
lovely.”
