Alice SeboldThere was our father, the heart we knew held all of us. Held us heavily and desperately, the doors of his heart opening and closing with the rapidity of stops on an instrument, the quiet felt closures, the ghostly fingering, practice and practice and then, incredibly, sound and melody and warmth.

And I began to see things in a way that let me hold the world without me in it.

The price of what I came to see as this miraculous body had been my life.
