“We can鈥檛 turn our true selves off and on situationally and expect them to carry and sustain us. Rationing creativity results in bipolarism of the spirit. Our creativity is also our life force. When we turn it off and on like a spigot, we start to become less and less able to control the valve.”

“For as Molly looked at him, she felt an immediate 鈥� she didn鈥檛 know what. Despite her love of the language arts, she also possessed an analytic mind, and that mind straightaway tried to seek out the why. And it couldn鈥檛 unearth the reason apart from his smile. Or, rather, how he smiled at her鈥攚arm and full-armed, like the embrace from a long-absent friend, without the slightest trace of fakeness or concealed motive. His was the most open face she鈥檇 ever seen in her life. Concomitant with these sensations, all delivered within a split second, was a thought, seemingly originating not in her mind but from the center of her torso and radiating out to the ends of each nerve, inexplicable in its suddenness and surety. A thought that children and very young people might have, but never middle-aged adults, especially one with a divorce behind her and the conviction that she already knew the world and what it was able to offer. But there it was, undeniably, the thought: I鈥檓 on a great adventure.”

“I鈥檓 in love, aren鈥檛 I? She thought she knew the answer by how much she wanted to be there. Wouldn鈥檛 have traded being there for any other location in the world. Wouldn鈥檛 have traded it for all the exotic destinations flaunted in Pan Am travel brochures. Not Tahiti, not Monte Carlo, not Hong Kong. No, she wanted to be here, in this ramshackle market not a ten-minute drive from her humdrum house and life. Except it wasn鈥檛 a humdrum life anymore, was it? No, I鈥檓 at the most exciting place on Earth. The center of the world. The Roman Forum during the reign of Augustus Caesar.”

“John knew the best love stories were the ones that were never told. For no medium鈥攏o book, no poem, no play or movie鈥攃ould ever tell a love story in its entirety, its full span and depth, from the exhilarating beginning to the tragic ending of all love stories. He didn鈥檛 mind if his life was forgotten鈥攊t had never occurred to him to want to be remembered鈥攁s long as he had truly lived, and to live life without experiencing one great love story was to not live at all.”

“Molly wondered this: Could the size of man鈥檚 soul be small? She marveled that she would ask herself this question, for the obvious answer was yes. After all, if John鈥檚 was infinitely large, then his polar opposite must also surely exist. Her ex-husband鈥檚 soul was very small indeed. He was forever spinning his wheels to enlarge his soul, to fill its emptiness, with things. The luxury car, the large house, the high-paying but unimaginative job, the respect of people he didn鈥檛 even like. Like so many men, he needed a boy鈥檚 toy box of things to feel whole. John was the opposite. He didn鈥檛 need anything to feel whole besides a hammock, a beer, and her.”

“Oh my. Molly put her hand to her no-doubt agape mouth. Oh my, oh my, oh my. After her divorce, she hadn鈥檛 thought this day would ever come again, but here it was, a second proposal. Life is funny, she thought, and she felt herself step back from the reality of her situation for a moment, lest its emotions overwhelm her and make her swoon like a damsel in those Middle English chivalric romances she taught in 10th-grade English. Yes, life was indeed funny. It had no syllabus, which was why Molly, always a diligent student, felt so unprepared for it. Life played tricks on you too, surprised you, with the biggest surprise that life, even at the nearly half-century mark, could still hold surprises. Like so: There is a man in my kitchen, a man I鈥檓 in love with, and he wants to spend the rest of his life with me. How strange and how very unconventional by its conventional, everyday setting.”

“We're a disaster, a certifiable catastrophe, and there's nothing beautiful about the way we're going. She's trying to be unbreakable but I'm unshakeable. She's going crazy, and I'm already goddamn insane. I clipped my jailbird's wings so she couldn't fly away from me, and then I wonder why the fuck I can't make her soar.”

“Except those images weren鈥檛 exact captures of reality. No, the Camera Eye was also suffused with what photographers called the Golden Hour鈥攖he gilt-tinted hour following sunrise and preceding sunset, when the world was awash with russet rays and even the meanest streets were aglow as if in an Arthurian legend. Every moment spent with John was like that, reality beyond reality. Richer, realer, rawer than reality. These were the moments she remembered most.”

“He tried to live a good life and devote that life to helping others, but he never thought the world would reward him for his efforts. Such a thought would be the ultimate in self-deluding self-aggrandizement, for why would the world care one iota about him? Now, however, he wondered if he had been wrong. Now, he thought that maybe, just maybe, if you lived a good life, the universe鈥攖his cold, cold world鈥攎ight just reward you. And he did feel rewarded鈥攔ewarded beyond all the gold in the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan.”

“She was beautiful. Not despite her so-called flaws but because of them鈥攖hose scrapes and life experiences that made her body like no other woman鈥檚. The beauty that wasn鈥檛 ephemeral or society-dictated but the real beauty that cut across generations, across all cultures, from the beginning of humankind. The beauty that was painted in Paleolithic caves and carved in ancient Venus statuettes, those wonderful figurines of all shapes and sizes, individualized and gorgeous precisely because of that individuality. What cavemen had known, modern men had forgotten, and sadly, modern women too.”

“The spotlight hadn鈥檛 dimmed as Molly aged but had changed its glow instead. It had grown more intense with each new experience, had become more personalized and distinguished. It was no longer the bland whitish light of youth, a light dictated by a ceaselessly shallow society and therefore able to be seen by everyone in such a society. No, hers at present was a spotlight with highly individualized rays that could no longer be seen by most men simply because most men鈥檚 eyes weren鈥檛 good enough to see them.”

“This has been her life for the past fifty years, this striving to help save the world a little bit, to push it just a bit farther into the right. This action was the only thing that sustained her during the hard times [when] only her purposeful life propped her up from total collapse, and she thought how strange that she had taught the morality play Everyman all those years but didn鈥檛 fully understand its central lesson or how true it was: We are our good deeds, and they alone will come with us into the afterlife.”
