“Love was at the fashioning of you”

I’m spooked.

“Oh honey, it does no good to hate. It’ll do nothing but turn your heart into a bitter root. People cain’t help being what they are anymore than a skunk can help being a skunk. Don’t you think if they had their choice they would rather be something else? Sure they would. People are just weak.”

“You never know what’s in a person’s heart until they’re tested, do you?“

“Love, we're going home now…
Our nomadic kisses wandered over all the world…

because love cannot always fly without resting, our lives return to the wall, to the rocks of the sea: our kisses head back home where they belong.”
