" And then I cried a flood of tears as if I really were a mermaid who had absorbed too much sea into herself. The tears spilled like a balm, like a potion, like a charm. In them swam a little girl whose father was dying without ever having seen her. In them swam a girl whose mother’s magic – the only thing the girl envied more than anything else in the world, the thing that had made her invisible, the most precious thing –might be dying too. In them swam a green-haired girl who had never been touched by the boy to whom she was so devoted that she would have lived with him forever in a shack by the sea or a ruined sand castle even if he never made love to her. My tears were for me, but they were also for him. They were to wash away the thing that had frightened him so much so long ago. The wound inside his thigh. My tears poured out of me and he drank them down his throat. He drank them in gulps deep into himself, swallowing sorrow.

"Someday,” he said, “when we are ready, I will give you back your tears." "

procrastination

silver lining

my life is beautiful, otherwise. i take my new puppy for walks and runs and bike rides. i eat too much yogurt and am recently obsessed with witch's brew. we're in the midst of an incredible indian summer. i'm getting along with my family. i'm going to cozumel to scuba dive in a few weeks and portland this weekend. on top of all that, i'm hoping to bust outta here next semester for australia.

so really, life ain't bad. school just makes me feel that way.
