“Love blurs your vision; but after it recedes, you can see more clearly than ever. It’s like the tide going out, revealing whatever’s been thrown away and sunk: broken bottles, old gloves, rusting pop cans, nibbled fishbodies, bones. This is the kind of thing you see if you sit in the darkness with open eyes, not knowing the future.”
Does love blur your vision? Or are you a veteran of love, wise to the twists and cracks ready to trip you up, knock you over and turn your life upside down? Squeezing your eyes shut, you think you see clearly, know where you’re going…then zap! the not knowing….the never-knowing….the world out our window.
