Saying things only we understand...


No remorse, no regret,
let's forgive every word we said.


I have found that there is a special kind of magic in disappearing for almost a month and going back to the bare basics. It has a tonic strength, even in the hour of sorrow and affliction, in escaping from the world and society and getting back to the simple duties and interests we have slighted and abandoned. It's just you and me, so far from home we might as well be on another planet. Here our world grows smaller, but it grows dearer and greater. Simple things have a new charm for us, and we suddenly realize that we have been renouncing all that is greatest and best, in our pursuit of some phantom. So let us "waste" even more time in each other, and perhaps find all that we've forgotten.
