• She told me her father taught her to live life way beyond the cusp of it, way out in the outer reaches where most people never had the guts to go, where you got hurt. Where there was unimaginable beauty and pain ...

Where there was danger and beauty and light. Only the now.

• She went from opera, park, assembly, play,
  To morning walks, and prayers three hours a day.
  To part her time 'twixt reading and bohea,
  To muse, and spill her solitary tea,
  Or o'er cold coffee trifle with the spoon,
  Count the slow clock, and dine exact at noon.
