Late FragmentAnd did you get whatyou wanted from this life even soI did.And what did you wantTo call myself beloved to feel myselfbeloved on the earth.

I hadnt been out to the hives before so to start off she gave me a lesson in what she called bee yard etiquette. She reminded me that the world was really one bee yard and the same rules work fine in both places. Dont be afraid as no life-loving bee wants to sting you. Still dont be an idiot wear long sleeves and pants. Dont swat. Dont even think about swatting. If you feel angry whistle. Anger agitates while whistling melts a bees temper. Act like you know what youre doing even if you dont. Above all send the bees love. Every little thing wants to be loved.

I told him I was going to betray you and betray Lyra and he believed me because I was corrupt and full of wickedness he looked so deep I felt sure hed see the truth. But I lied too well.

The center will hold. How do you know Because we are the center.

I have learned that the person I have to ask for forgiveness from the most is myself. You must love yourself. You have to forgive yourself everyday whenever you remember a shortcoming a flaw you have to tell yourself Thats just fine. You have to forgive yourself so much until you dont even see those things anymore. Because thats what love is like.

You were a summer gift one Ill always treasure. You were a dream I never wanted to wake up from. You opened my eyes to things Ill never really see. Youre the best thing that will ever happen to me.
