“RAIN
I opened my eyes
And looked up at the rain.
And it dripped in my head
And flowed into my brain,
And all that I hear as I lie in my bed
Is the slishity-slosh of the rain in my head.

I step very softly,
I walk very slow,
I can’t do a handstand-
I might overflow,
So pardon the wild crazy thing I just said-
I’m just not the same since there’s rain in my head.”
― Shel Silverstein, Where the Sidewalk Ends

“My royal daughter," Ma had singsonged, "none of us is just one thing. Life is a process of learning to recognize our many faces.”
