“There are times when Los Angeles is the most magical city on Earth. When the Santa Ana winds sweep through and the air is warm and so, so clear. When the jacaranda trees bloom in the most brilliant lilac violet. When the ocean sparkles on a warm February day and you're pushing fine grains of sand through your bare toes while the rest of the country is hunkered down under blankets slurping soup. But other times, like when the jacaranda trees drop their blossoms in an eerie purple rain, Los Angeles feels like only a half-formed dream. Like perhaps the city was founded as a strip mall in the early 1970s and has no real reason to exist. An afterthought from the designer of some other, better city. A playground made only for attractive people to eat expensive salads.”

A thin scrim of fog huddled against the hills and the moon winked half-lidded in the murky sky that had merged with the horizon. The fire crackled for attention and she swerved to gaze at its throbbing red-orange wood-heart that held a million days of sunlight.”

“Looking at the same horizon, one can see at most the bird in front of him, or the hill a little further and the clouds quite far away, or the Moon beyond the clouds or the stars beyond the Moon! The depth of your horizon is about your depth! If you're too deep, you'll go all the way to whatever or whoever was there before the stars and galaxies were born!”
