"One of the most fascinating aspects of human life is the irrational and mysterious subtext: as happy as you are, there is misery all around you. It creeps into your sleep and texts you obituaries. There is your past, and your future, and neither one has any emotional insurance policy to protect you from finding relics (or foreshadowing undertoads) of them floating around in your chardonnay — less like black flies, more like red mosquitoes. Maybe they’re there to remind you of how tightly you should cling to the sunny present, to take nothing for granted, to buy tunics while you’re not in the red."
