to let the dust on your feet rise, until it turns to gold.

my favorite book is ovid’s ‘metamorphoses.’

"i love the line, the contour, the demarcation; it makes things clearer, it is a decision. when playing hopscotch as kids, we used to hop over a porous chalk line, well aware of the consequences of stepping on it, of barely touching it: win or lose, heaven or hell. one touch meant to breach the line, it meant ‘hell.’ to us, the descent to the netherworld was that clear.”
