Life Stretches Before Me Like An Endless Mystery

I feel the heartbeat of the world...

She slid around the corner like she was gliding across a pond.

"There's a softness in the world tonight," she said. "A power and a smell. A glistening sense of possibility."

I looked around, unable to sense anything. "Is there?"

"Yes. Definitely. Right here."

And she pointed. So I looked.

And saw nothing.

But I didn't say that. I didn't want to annoy her.

Later, she glided away. Back to her car.

And I sat in the diner. Listening for the glistening.

Still hearing nothing.

But somehow sensing it was there.

And... wanting to believe.

Chick violinists on the beach rule.
