“She wondered If I had woken up, would I have smelled his sadness, his desperation, and his detachment?
His death, her breath.
He told her once, she remembers, these two words have no other rhyme but each other.
If she could go back, she thinks --
She would open her eyes, instead of her heart.”

It’s where we store the depths of the hurt we’ve been dealt.
Where we store the deep love we never want to lose.”

“I gave my heart to a man who loved me, who wanted to be with me. Who ultimately was afraid of all I offered.
I didn’t understand why he sabotaged our future at the time – cheating on me, again, as we were making final plans to move in together. By the time he came over to smooth talk his way out of it, I was done. No more crying. Even my tears had given up on him. I’d already moved on, his cheating was simply the key left in the mailbox.”

“A man once asked me ... how I managed in my books to write such natural conversation between men when they were by themselves. Was I, by any chance, a member of a large, mixed family with a lot of male friends? I replied that, on the contrary, I was an only child and had practically never seen or spoken to any men of my own age till I was about twenty-five. "Well," said the man, "I shouldn't have expected a woman (meaning me) to have been able to make it so convincing." I replied that I had coped with this difficult problem by making my men talk, as far as possible, like ordinary human beings. This aspect of the matter seemed to surprise the other speaker; he said no more, but took it away to chew it over. One of these days it may quite likely occur to him that women, as well as men, when left to themselves, talk very much like human beings also.”

“Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you're wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn't love you anymore.”

Rachel, in my travels I'm seeing other types of writing from you and though I'm not the least bit surprised, what a treasure it is to see this side of you. WOW. Kind of like a really cool hurricane making landfall....
Rachel, thank you for adding me to your awesome cache friends. I hope that you have the opportunity to read my novel, Pious, a critically acclaimed tale about an esteemed man who is confronted with all that he has tried to hide of his past when an ex-wife tries to extort money from him and a registered sex-offender moves into his neighborhood.Available on Kindle and nook for as little as $1.99
http://amzn.to/pious199 and/or http://bit.ly/piousNook
Also available in paperback.
Wow. Who could top a really cool hurricane making landfall? Maybe two galaxies intermingling? I just think you're cool.
Believe in the dream and the dream will believe in you.
Thanks for the friend request. Hope you're having a great weekend. :)
