“You ever feel like the whole world is spinning five steps ahead of you?” I ask. “And by the time you catch up with them, they’ve already moved on?”

“When I see him in the lagoon, I’ll tell him that the water lily is in his room now. He’ll be so happy to see you again.”

Aleeza: Do you ever feel alone in a roomful of people? Jay: It’s just because the world needs to catch up with you.
