" . . . this glowing mountain heart reminds me of you."
---
But if I can bear the nights, the days are a pleasure. I walk out; I see something, some event that would otherwise have been utterly missed or lost; or something sees me, some enormous power brushes me with its clean wing, and I resound like a beaten bell.
Annie Dillard, Pilgram at Tinker Creek
---Love. The black hook. The spear singing through the mind. . . . I was rippling gold. My breasts were bare and my nipples flashed and winked. Diamonds tipped them. I could walk through panes of glass. I could walk through windows.
Louise Erdrich, 'Saint Marie'
---Gabor Szabo, guitar; Ron Carter, bass; Willie Bobo and Victor Pantoja, percussion; Chico Hamilton, drums "Spellbinder"
