Things that break - be they bones, hearts, or promises - can be put back together but will never really be whole.

The English judged a person so that they'd be justified in casting her out. The Amish judged a person so that they'd be justified in welcoming her back. Where I'm from, if someone is accused of sinning, it's not so that others can place blame. It's so that the person can make amends and move on.

In nineteen minutes, you can mow the front lawn color your hair watch a third of a hockey game. In nineteen minutes, you can bake scones or get a tooth filled by a dentist you can fold laundry for a family of five. In nineteen minutes, you can stop the world or you can just jump off it.

So much of the language of love was like that: you devoured someone with your eyes, you drank in the sight of him, you swallowed him whole. Love was substance, broken down and beating through your bloodstream.
