00:00:01.740 --> 00:00:04.860 align:middle line:84%
And this is the last poem in
the book and then the last one

00:00:04.860 --> 00:00:07.420 align:middle line:90%
that I'll read in this book.

00:00:07.420 --> 00:00:11.400 align:middle line:90%
You are still held captive here.

00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:13.770 align:middle line:84%
"Of all the things
I have done, I'm

00:00:13.770 --> 00:00:15.780 align:middle line:90%
most proud of our relationship.

00:00:15.780 --> 00:00:18.750 align:middle line:84%
Of picking up the pieces,
of investing in each other

00:00:18.750 --> 00:00:21.120 align:middle line:90%
again and again.

00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:24.180 align:middle line:84%
I am proud to trust you
despite the pain of trusting

00:00:24.180 --> 00:00:27.060 align:middle line:90%
that lives in me every day.

00:00:27.060 --> 00:00:30.000 align:middle line:84%
In every way, I was
raised to kill this.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.400 align:middle line:84%
The impulse to build
and protect a place

00:00:32.400 --> 00:00:36.150 align:middle line:84%
where you and I can
live as ourselves.

00:00:36.150 --> 00:00:38.040 align:middle line:90%
And not just live.

00:00:38.040 --> 00:00:39.930 align:middle line:84%
When I hear you on
the phone, there's

00:00:39.930 --> 00:00:41.980 align:middle line:90%
always something else going on.

00:00:41.980 --> 00:00:45.480 align:middle line:84%
Something's happened that
will change you or change me.

00:00:45.480 --> 00:00:47.670 align:middle line:84%
And it's not those
moments but ourselves

00:00:47.670 --> 00:00:49.530 align:middle line:90%
that we share with each other.

00:00:49.530 --> 00:00:54.060 align:middle line:84%
Not out of necessity
but abundance."

00:00:54.060 --> 00:00:55.680 align:middle line:90%
And now I'm going to hydrate.

00:00:55.680 --> 00:00:59.070 align:middle line:90%


00:00:59.070 --> 00:01:01.140 align:middle line:84%
Because I've discovered
that while here

00:01:01.140 --> 00:01:07.760 align:middle line:84%
in this desert where I do not
sweat, I just need water a lot.

00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:20.000 align:middle line:90%
