'I let the the raining silence close her eyes for the last time. She slept .I knew we didn't have her story. not the whole of it .I knew the small daubs of colour she had excluded from her summary were at least as important as the broad strokes she included. the devil they say is in the details, and i knew well the devils that lurked and skulled in the details of my own story. But she had given me a hoard of new treasures.I'd learned more about her in that exhausted, murmuring hour than in all the many months before it. Lovers find their way by such insights and confidences: they're the stars we use to navigate the ocean of desire.And the brightest of those stars are the heartbreaks and sorrows.The most precious gift you can bring to ur lover is your suffering.So i took each sadness she confessed to me and pinned it to the sky.' -SHANTARAM
