      "To crave and to have are as like as a thing and its shadow. For when does a berry break upon the tongue as sweetly as when one longs to taste it, and when is the taste refracted into so many hues and savors of ripeness and earth, and when do our senses know anything so utterly as when we lack it? . . . So whatever we may lose, very craving gives it back to us again."

      Although I've been militantly maintaining my hermetic solitude, the Housekeeping coincidence was too great to pass on. I just finished rereading it myself yesterday. I love that book. Ruth's voice ascends to poetic miracle.

      p.s. I haven't been avoiding you, I've been avoiding me.

      I love you anyway. I'll see you when I see you, and it will be good times. For when does a berry break upon the tongue as sweetly as when one longs to taste it?
