hurt morning pain
Childhood is such a delicate tissue; what they had done this morning could snag somewhere in the little ones, make a dull, small pain that will circle back again and again, and hurt them in small ways for the rest of their lives.
skeletons needs stories
We need the skeletons of other stories to understand our own, sometimes.
amor cease
Amor animi arbitrio sumitu, non ponitur; we choose to love; we do not choose to cease loving.
mother daughter hurt
And she, the new mother of a daughter, felt a fierceness come over her that seized at her heart, that made her feel as if her bones were turned to steel, as if she could turn herself into a weapon to keep this daughter of hers from having to be hurt by the world outside the ring of her arms.
girl depressing lunch
Depressing thought: my friends were the girls I ate lunch with, all buddies from kindergarten who knew one another so well we weren't sure if we even liked one another anymore.
reading night way
I see ghosts everywhere, and that is partially a function of my being incredibly near-sighted and reading way too late into the night.
cat black way
If theres a black cat that crosses the street in my path, I will turn around and walk 20 minutes out of my way to not cross it.
past sometimes trouble
Sometimes you have to let time carry you past your troubles.
summer son sea
The darkest period of my life, so far, arrived the summer I was pregnant with my eldest son. The future was growing in me with all of its terrifying unpredictability, and I found myself anxious, unable to work and woefully at sea.
clever tired darkness
I love Twitter. It's like having a closet full of clever friends that you can visit twice a day, then shove back into the darkness when you're tired of them.
childhood conventional
My childhood was as conventional as you could get.
running hurt pain
Even still, we run. We have not reached our average of 57.92 years without knowing that you run through it, and it hurts and you run through it some more, and if it hurts worse, you run through it even more, and when you finish, you will have broken through. In the end, when you are done, and stretching, and your heartbeat slows, and your sweat dries, if you've run through the hard part, you will remember no pain.
song play records
Song: Heloise and Abelard by Elizabeth Devlin. Beyond the a propros subject matter, this lady can really play the Autoharp. This song sounds like something you'd find on a gramophone record.
book writing thinking
In terms of writing, I think what most fiction writers treasure more than anything is the feeling that they're living for the length of a book inside another person.
