Dealing with the dropped shoe is less paralyzing, apparently, than waiting for that shoe to drop.

This is when the Ache becomes too powerful to resist. I am out of practice. I don’t stiffen. I don’t hold my breath. I don’t break eye contact. I unclench and let it take me.

Somehow I am here with everyone who has ever lived and ever loved and ever lost.
