“How could he convey to someone who’d never even met her the way she always smelled like rain, or how his stomach knotted up every time he saw her shake loose her hair from its braid? How could he describe how it felt when she finished his sentences, turned the mug they were sharing so that her mouth landed where his had been? How did he explain the way they could be in a locker room, or underwater, or in the piney woods of Maine, bus as long as Em was with him, he was at home?” —Jodi Picoult, The Pact

“In nineteen minutes, you can mow the front lawn; color your hair; watch a third of a hockey game. In nineteen minutes, you can bake scones or get a tooth filled by a dentist; you can fold laundry for a family of five.
In nineteen minutes, you can stop the world; or you can just jump off it.” —Jodi Picoult, Nineteen Minutes

Longest Part of a Minute pt. 1

readattheshow:

The longest part of a minute is the first ten seconds…but if 60 became 50 would you miss them? conversations cut shorter and movies less boring…television plot lines never resolved…ten whole seconds for you to miss them all…

an ode in 2 parts to be delivered on time from me…to you

This reminds me of the begining of Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult
