In my own worst seasons I've come back from the colorless world of despair by forcing myself to look hard, for a long time, at a single glorious thing: a flame of red geranium outside my bedroom window. And then another: my daughter in a yellow dress. And another: the perfect outline of a full, dark sphere behind the crescent moon. Until I learned to be in love with my life again. Like a stroke victim retraining new parts of the brain to grasp lost skills, I have taught myself joy, over and over again(15).

Droplets, droplets: We are all identical drips and drops of people, hovering, waiting to be tipped, waiting for someone to show us the way, to pour us down a path.
...
He has tipped us over, all of us in our teetering expectancy, and now we are pouring toward him, coursing on a wave of sound, of roaring shouts and applause.
...
They are the moon; we are a tide, their tide, and under their direction we will wipe clean all the sickness and blight from the world.
The emotions attached to them were like sand castles in the tide, slowly washing out to sea.

The sea is calm tonight.
The tide is full, the moon lies fair
Upon the straits;- on the French coast the light
Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand,
glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay.

Side by side we'll fight the tide,
That sweeps in to take us down.
Hand in hand we'll both withstand,
Even as we drown.

I have to find a place to hide
An island in the sea
Surrounded by a racing tide
Where I can live with me
