..."You 'member me?" It was a dumb question. Of course I remembered him. It hadn't been but a few hours since we met and I wasn't senile, for pity's sake. Besides, he was too fine to forget.
Bravery is being unafraid of something other people are afraid of. Courage is being afraid, but strong enough to do it anyway.
Because words form the foundation of society. Ideas create culture. Control them, and you can control . . . everything.
Humans are made of memory and story as much as blood and bone.
We are in the twilight years of a long love affair, and it has recently occurred to me that a day will come when one of us buries the other. But, I remind myself, that is the happy ending to a story like ours. It is a vow made and kept. Till death do us part. It is the only acceptable outcome to a long and happy marriage, and I am determined not to fear that day, whenever it arrives. I am equally determined to soak up all the days between.
He looks at her then, her Christ, with his wounded eyes, and she sees what she had not seen before. He is in love. He is in love with her, he is in love with the sparrow and the river, he is in love with the root and trunk and flower of it all, the entire creation, and his fear and his love are inseparable. He has love even for the fear, and it is through the vulnerable door, the portal of fear, the spear in his side that will come tomorrow, that Aleys glimpses, for a fleeting moment, the unutterable vastness of her beloved.
