“I stood there and stared at it—this colorful expanse of paper, with its topographic mountain ranges and changeable shades of blue to depict the various depths of the ocean—and saw a map of the world, but knew it wasn’t mine. My world was much, much smaller”
“I saw in a blue haze all the world poured flat and pale between the mountains”
“I saw the world in black and white instead of the vibrant colours and shades I knew existed.”
“The world is much larger than I once dreamed, or perhaps my place in it is smaller than I once realized.”
“The real world is much smaller than the imaginary”
“And I thought about the color and I realized what blue it was. It was the soft and changeable, essential blue of a well-worn pair of pants.Pants = Love”
