Their love as a dragonfly, skimming over echo park, stoppin to visit the lotus. Eating dreams and drinking blue sky.

I felt like time was a great sea, and I was floating on the back of a turtle, and no sails broke the horizon.

Let me tell you a few things about regret...There is no end to it. You cannot find the beginning of the chain that brought us from there to here. Should you regret the whole chain, and the air in between, or each link separately as if you could uncouple them? Do you regret the beginning which ended so badly, or just the ending itself?

Panic was the worst thing. When you panicked, you couldn't see possibilities. Then came despair.

This was the life I was going to be living, everybody separated from everybody else, hanging on for a moment only to be washed away.

How right that the body changed over time, becoming a gallery of scars, a canvas of experience, a testament to life and one's capacity to endure it.

The best you'll ever do is to understand yourself, know what it is that you want, and not let the cattle stand in your way.
