If you zoom close-if you get really close to someone, if you really get close to yourself-then you lose the other person, you lose yourself entirely. You get so close you can't see anything anymore.

David LevithanDo you know when you cross against traffic? You look down the street and see a car coming, but you know you can get across before it gets to you. So even though thereโs a DONโT WALK sign, you cross anyway. And thereโs always a split second when you turn and see that car coming, and you know that if you donโt continue moving, it will all be over. Thatโs how I feel a lot of the time. I know Iโll make it across. I always make it across. But the car is always there, and I always stop to watch it coming.
