Lighthousekeeping

Every time I pick up a book by this author, I (re)discover something.  Every few chapters, I come across something that looks/sounds familiar.  I know I've seen/heard it before.

"He doubted her.  You must never doubt the one you love.

But they might not be telling the truth.

Never mind that.  You tell them the truth.

What do you mean?

You can't be another person's honesty, child, but you can be your own.

So what should I say?

When?

When I love someone?

You should say it."

- Jeannette Winterson, Lighthousekeeping

I've read a couple of this author's books now.  All very poetic, very clever.

Stories...this is what you were referring to.

You said you're telling me a story.

I always loved your stories.

I'm still here...still listening...as always.

So please...tell me a story...about love...about you...with a beginning, middle and end...with a happy ending.

Or...let me tell you a story......
