Quote by Corinne Beenfield

“Out there in the chrysanthemum light, the day was at its best. The sun was setting later and later, leaving behind a strange way of making the time fade away and nearly disappear, as though night truly wouldn’t come. Helen looked to the side at Stuart. He seemed different in this lighting, both stronger and softer than usual. Like salt, the time of day made everything he was more rich and intense. His eyes met hers and he turned, his full body facing her. With a single step, he was standing closer to her than he ever had before, the space between them nearly as small as the space between heartbeats.”

“I felt incongruence within myself. I didn’t know what I wanted, but I knew how I wanted to be perceived and I felt a strong desire to be respected. I decided that things could be broken down into simple black and white terms, yet I felt strong and weak, loving and harsh, and didn’t see a place for me in the world. I couldn’t simplify my feelings enough to understand myself.”
