I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self respect. And it’s these things I’d believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn’t all she should be. I love her and it is the beginning of everything.

The trees in the courtyard are still green, so I sit under them and try to will the last few heartbeats of summer into my pores. It’s not that the fall is treating me badly- it changes things, of course and inevitably- but the summer has always stood for something irrevocably infinite, no matter what the year. I am trying not to forget summer as a whole, but as an individual entity as well.

I wish the whole day were like breakfast, when people are still connected to their dreams, focused inward, and not yet ready to engage with the world around them. I realized this is how I am all day; for me, unlike other people, there doesn’t come a moment after a cup of coffee or a shower or whatever when I suddenly feel alive and awake and connected to the world. If it were always breakfast, I would be fine.
