The truly marvelous thing, it seems to me, is that we are born together, have had a chance to look into one another's eyes and see tears fall, or scream in outrage at a mindless driver and simultaneously throw our pizza slices at her windshield, then laugh uproariously at the satisfying sound of them slapping on the glass, have had the chance to read each other's poetry and nod in discernment, we have encouraged one another by writing of strawberries and, yes, death. What a treasure it is to have you in my life! xxoo

So beautiful, so true, such a needed reminder! Loved this line especially: "All we got is right here right now and so let’s dance like dorks when the pasta is boiling and eat all the strawberries and look up at the swirls in the sky as day morphs into night." And I'm so sorry for the loss of Mike and Amy.

Thank you, dear Ramya. It's all so unfair + yet there ain't a damn thing we can do about it except live with abandon. Big love.
