• He is my other eyes that can see above the clouds; my other ears that hear above the winds. He is the part of me that can reach out into the sea.

(I think it makes him sick with worry when he is not along to care for me.)

• We who choose to surround ourselves
  with lives even more temporary than our
  own, live within a fragile circle;
  easily and often breached.
  Unable to accept its awful gaps,
  we would still live no other way.
  We cherish memory as the only
  certain immortality, never fully
  understanding the necessary plan.
