Thank you, Stars,” I said looking up. “For shining down from such a distance. You show us how small we are and yet how magnificent it is to be alive. Thank you, Earth, for holding everything all together and giving us a place to walk, and sleep, and love.” I squeezed Josh’s hand. “And thank you, Josh, for being earth and water and stardust and for coming to me in the uniqueness of yourself.”

“Josh’s appearance in my life was making me feel new things. I liked how I was feeling but my feelings scared me, too. Josh made me feel things I hadn’t known I could feel. The only words I could think of were fluttery, tingly, excited, scared, thrilled, curious, hot, wet, weak and strong at the same time, safe, too, but also like I was dancing at the edge of danger.”
