"Yet Byron never made tea as you do, who fill the pot so that when you put the lid on the tea spills over. There is a brown pool on the table-it is running among your books and papers. Now you mop it up, clumsily, with your pocket-hankerchief.

I offer my scars... what you call "wisdom"... as insight I have gathered from my comfort of living within both the light and the shadow."
