Prologue:
Ki Deus ad duné escïence
e de parler bone eloquence
ne s’en deit taisir ne celer,
ainz se deit voluntiers mustrer.
He to whom God has given knowledge
And the gift of speaking eloquently,
Must not keep silent nor conceal the gift,
But he must willingly display it.

The strength to carry.
I squirm to disappoint. My mom, my girlfriend, my best friend, my siblings, my teachers. I catch the moments of disappointment in a bucket and look down at their endless depths. A galaxy of failure glooms back at me. And when I reach to scoop it out, my arms aren’t long enough. I come up with a handful of air and taste of salt on my lips.
