If there is a noise it s internal. It screams and no one can hear it but you. It screams so loud your ears ring and your head aches. It trashes around in your chest like a great white shark caught in the sea it roars like a mother bear whose cub has been taken. That s what it looks like and that s what it sounds like a trashing panicking trapped great big beast roaring like a prisoner to its own emotions.

(pg. 125, The Body and the Earth) "

4 " Well, here we are." Sometimes a statement of the bloody obvious was the only appropriate way forward. As if to give life ceremonious permission to proceed. "
5 " what is ceremonious and curious and commonplace will be legendary. "
