And, Joey, if you ever want to know about the japonicas and the daisy fields it will be alright that you have forgotten because I will be able to tell you about how it felt to be feeling that way you cannot quite remember – that will be for the time when something happens years from now that reminds you of now.

Why is there happiness and comfort and excitement where you are and no where else in the world.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.

Maybe other people's ideas of us are truer than our own.
