"I have been ten days in this temple
and my heart is restless.
The scarlet thread of lust at my feet
has reached up long.
If someday you come looking for me,
I will be in a shop that sells fine seafood,
a good drinking place,
or a brothel."
"It would be nice if life were just easy all of the time. But sometimes we have to stumble and get bumps and bruises in order to move forward. Sometimes we have to make bad choices to know what the right ones are."
