“If you want, Deb, I will be your shore. I will be worn away. Gladly. And everything you take from me will be my blessing. Oh, I have missed you! And now every mile we walk out to the jetty and back, out to the point, out to that abandoned bench in Rockport where the slats are falling off, the rusting railing, the crumbling granite seawall (myself) while you wash me over again and again--will be my blessing. My blessing. My blessing. I am awake now. I cannot fly. Not in this world. I cannot fly. I can endure for a while if you are with me.”
― Joe Blair, By the Iowa Sea: A Memoir
