“I do not know. In all this”—he gestured around them—“what is the meaning of okay?”
“I think you should learn, of course, and some days you must learn a great deal. But you should also have days when you allow what is already in you to swell up inside of you until it touches everything. And you can feel it inside of you.

They don't pause to let the vacation enter inside of them and take that home.”
