The forest stretched on seemingly forever with the most monotonous predictability, each tree just like the next - trunk, branches, leaves; trunk, branches, leaves. Of course a tree would have taken a different view of the matter. We all tend to see the way others are alike and how we differ, and it's probably just as well we do, since that prevents a great deal of confusion. But perhaps we should remind ourselves from time to time that ours is a very partial view, and that the world is full of a great deal more variety than we ever manage to take in. ↗

A lot of childhood effort, worry, and whispering goes into cracking the codes of adult life. Children have to be accomplished spies. ↗
One noći smo bili, rekao sam mu, ispred neke kuće na Florin bulevaru... Lynn je želela da hoda bosa, skinula je cipele i stavila ih u tašnu. Šetali smo tako ispred te kuće... Onda je ulicom prošla neka dečurlija sa maskama na licu. Vraćali su se sa nekog karnevala. Jedan od njih je prišao Lynn i upitao je: - Zbog čega vi hodate bosi? Zaustavili su se i napravili krug oko nas. Svi zajedno su imali godina koliko i mi. - Tako se brže hoda, odgovorila im je. - Stvarno?, rekli su svi u glas. - Da, rekla je Lynn, skineš cipele samo onda kad odlučiš kuda želiš da ideš. Kuda vi želite da idete? - U Diznilend, rekli su - Skinite onda cipele, rekla je Lynn. Bićete tamo za pet minuta. Klinci su stvarno poskidali cipele i pojurili ka Diznilendu. - Pogledaj ih, rekla mi je, žure da stignu svoj san. ↗
Brooding is more something I do when I'm working. I know so much more about sitting around worrying about a work project than I do about worrying about kids. This could just be a fact of life for older moms. We've worked and worked and worked and if we are lucky enough to finally have a child or two, we find ourselves suddenly catapulted into a most alien kind of chaos. Work is so much easier. Anyone will tell you that. To have a desk, where you have everything all lined up, and a schedule you more or less get to agree to. Work. I am a worker. This is so funny because I never really think of my work as work. I certainly never though of myself as having a career. Writing, work, this is just who I am. I am a person who sits at a desk and makes phone calls and taps at a computer keyboard and sips coffee and calls her mom at five. That I am anything better or smaller than that has come as sudden news to me. Brand new. News. ↗

How many of us will be saved the pain of seeing the most important things in our lives disappearing from one moment to the next? I don't just mean people, but our ideas and dreams too: we might survive a day, a week, a few years, but we're all condemned to lose. Our body remains alive, yet sooner or later our soul will receive the mortal blow. The perfect crime - for we don't know who murdered our joy, what their motives were, or where the guilty parties are to be found...they too are the victims of the reality they created. ↗
Moments before sleep are when she feels most alive, leaping across fragments of the day, bringing each moment into the bed with her like a child with schoolbooks and pencils. The day seems to have no order until these times, which are like a ledger for her, her body full of stories and situations. ↗
