He'd look at Mary and his heart would float. That was the kind of love it was, the kind that radiates, that begins in the eyes of another but soon has got into everything, the kind that makes the world seem better, everything become just that bit more marvelous. Maybe it was because he'd been at sea so long; maybe it was because he was realizing how lost he had been ...; maybe it was because he was feeling rescued.

Because for everyone you meet there is a last moment, there will be a last moment when your hand slips from theirs, and everything ripples outwards from that, the last firmness of a hand in yours that every moment after becomes a little less firm until you look down at your own hand and try to imagine just what it felt like before their hand slipped away. And you cannot. You cannot feel them.

We tell stories. We tell stories to pass the time, to leave the world for a while, or go more deeply into it. We tell stories to heal the pain of living.

We're a race of elsewhere people. That's what makes us the best saints and the best poets and the best musicians and the world's worst bankers...It's in the eyes. The idea of the better home. Some of us have it worse than others. My father had it running in the rivers of him.
