"Those spontaneously contagious moments of mutual enraptured discovery"

"Sometimes beautiful things can choke me. Its a catch in the throat, and I have to close my eyes against it. Every small thing I've tried to create has failed, because I want to be creating worlds. Then I remember- the small things are worlds unto themselves. And that we are creating worlds, we are creating worlds, we are, we are, we are.."

excerpt from the david & hennesy short story

"and I said, without looking into your eyes, without watching you laugh without sex or sentimentality, I said "I love you". And I've said it before, and yes, I've said it before and meant it. But last night.. love had never.. tasted? that way before. The shape of the words felt different- singular- in my mouth. Like I'd lost a tooth, or my tongue, or a lot of blood. Dizzy feeling. I felt my eyes saying it, felt my eyes popping with the heft of saying it. I felt my fingers tracing it into your flesh. I felt it in my joints, in the way my hips moved as I leaned against the stove- I felt it in every pore of my skin. And it was the first time every iota of my body worked in tandem towards an object outside of my skin. You were the external I truly craved to have internalized."

"I have separated the world into two truths. One seen, one imagined. In both truths, we are still great people. The only difference is acknowledgment. In one world, it floats"
