I've always like the time before dawn because there's no one around to remind me who I'm supposed to be, so it's easier to remember who I am.

I don't blame you for everything, she told me. Just the stuff my friends & I can agree on.

I read once that the ancient Egyptians had fifty words for sand & the Eskimos had a hundred words for snow. I wish I had a thousand words for love, but all that comes to mind is the way you move against me while you sleep & there are no words for that.

I sometimes wake in the early morning & listen to the soft breathing of my children & I think to myself, this is one thing I will never regret & I carry that quiet with me all day long.
