"That night, I fell asleep knowing there is always a chance I will wake in the night certain I am an outcast, outside the common run of humanity, an imposter by light of day. I'm pretty sure I will fall into that well of embarrassment, sometime or another, again. And I wonder. Can it be that all of us upon waking sometimes feel malformed or broken, foolish, as we huddle in our nests all over the earth? Perhaps I think this pit of shame without perspective is the true human connection." ~Python's Kiss, Louise Erdrich
