Everything is just perfect right now. Got the full moon today through tomorrow, I’m in a little apartment overlooking the ocean as it storms every night, and it feels like a portal has opened up around me. This book is exactly what I need at this exact moment. I got to the part yesterday where the main character finds the Orange Girl at the cafe and sits down at her table, and she reaches for his hand, and it’s just this moment. And I started laughing because I had written the night before I started the book about sitting down with strangers, holding their hand and their life unfolds.
I don’t know if these synchronicities actually mean anything outside of being fun and giving me a general feeling that I’m moving in the right direction, on the right track. They’re like a voice telling me I’m getting warmer, as I search to find that hidden key.
Wouldn’t it have been infinitely worse if we’d first been able to see each other every day for six months and then never met again?
This line made me feel sad and guilty.
