The Looking Glass

Read this last night:

The nuns always warned against storytelling and day-dreaming, which they said meant lying, an escape from the truth. To me it was the opposite. Those bright pictures were the most real thing.

...

Nothing could be too difficult if the sea was nearby. I fell down that last stretch of road as though I were being born.
