Maybe the star doesnt even exist any more.Yet sometimes that light seems more real to me than anything.

And as the years have passed, the time has grown longer. The sad truth is that what I could recall in five seconds all too needed ten, then thirty, then a full minute - like shadows lengthening at dusk. Someday, I suppose, the shadows will be swallowed up in darkness.

I'll write to you. A super-long letter, like in an old-fashioned novel

When I was a teenager, I thought how great it would be if only I could write novels in English. I had the feeling that I would be able to express my emotions so much more directly than if I wrote in Japanese.

Open your eyes, train your ears, use your head. If a mind you have, then use it while you can.
