father grandmother order
My grandmother told me that her father used to ask her a riddle: What must you break apart in order to bring a family close together? Bread, of course.
car kitchen sitting
The reason I am still sitting at Josef's kitchen table is the same reason traffic slows after a car wreck- you want to see the damage; you can't let yourself pass without that mental snapshot. We are drawn to horror even as we recoil from it.
life real saint
Inside each of us is a monster; inside each of us is a saint. The real question is which one we nurture the most, which one will smite the other.
warning habit shout-out
If history has a habit of repeating itself, doesn't someone have to stay behind to shout out a warning?
memories flower world
Each memory is like a paper flower stowed up a magician's sleeve: invisible one moment and then so substantial and florid the next I cannot imagine how it stayed hidden all this time. And like those paper flowers, once they've been let loose in the world, the memories are impossible to tuck away again.
appreciate people safety
People have to experience things that terrify them. If they don't, how will they ever come to appreciate safety?
knowing starting-over tasks
The best thing about endings is knowing that just ahead is the daunting task to start over.
people good-people
Good people are good people; religion has nothing to do with it.
years swim four
Tutoring a four year old to get into an exclusive preschool made as much sense as hiring a swim coach for a guppy.
people way sin
You don't make peace only with G-d. You make it with people. Sin isn't global. It's personal. If you do wrong to someone, the only way to fix that is to go to that same person and do right by him.
lying secret fiction
Fiction comes in all shapes and sizes. Secrets,lies,stories. We all tell them. Sometimes,because we hope to entertain. Sometimes,because we need to distract. And sometimes, because we have to.
moving numbers heat
Why is it that only in the very beginnings of a relationship are you aware of the heat coming from inside a person, of the number of inches you would have to move for your shoulders to brush as if it were an accident?
beautiful eye light
A woman isn't all that different from a bonfire. A fire's a beautiful thing, right? Something you can't take your eyes off, when it's burning. If you can keep it contained, it'll throw light and heat for you. It's only when it gets out of control that you have to go on the offensive.
flames fire leap
When you have been burned by fire once, you don't leap into the flames again.
