He has no master except his own soul and that I am sure is why he does it.

• I may never be happy, but tonight I am content. Nothing more than an empty house, the warm hazy weariness from a day spent setting strawberry runners in the sun, a glass of cool sweet milk, and a shallow dish of blueberries bathed in cream.

At times like this I'd call myself a fool to ask for more.
