Maybe love was superstition, a prayer we said to keep the truth of loneliness at bay. I tilted my head back.

Lives of nations are determined not by the count of years, but by the lifetime of the human spirit. The life of a man is three-score years and ten: a little more, a little less. The life of a nation is the fullness of the measure of its will to live. ~Franklin D. Roosevelt
