I have alos found one caharchter for my book. How she sees the world(yes, it has to be a woman!), or how she uncovers the double life her father lives. Biit by bit, one lifetime at a time-
I saw ROckstar yesterday, and have not been able to get over it since. More on that, soon.
The movie ends with a quote by Rumi -

of all our sexual wanting
will look, lift your face
and say,
Like this.

about clouds gradually uncovering the moon,

of your robe.

don’t try to explain the miracle.

and measure with your fingers the space

When someone doesn’t believe that,
walk back into my house.
Like this.

they’re telling our story.

Stare into this deepening blue,
while the breeze says a secret.
Like this.
When someone asks what there is to do,
light the candle in his hand.
Like this.

Huuuuu.
How did Jacob’s sight return?
Huuuu.
A little wind cleans the eyes.
Like this.

he’ll put just his head around the edge
of the door to surprise us
