Maybe love was superstition, a prayer we said to keep the truth of loneliness at bay. I tilted my head back. The stars looked like they were close together, when really they were millions of miles apart.

I've seen a generation eager, impatient even, to step into the rushing waters of history and change its course. ~Barack Obama
