I think living with the absence of someone we love is like living in front of a mountain from which a person—a speck in the distance, on some distant ridge—is perpetually waving.
In youth, we wave back to the figure on the cliff.
"— Simon Van Booy, Everything is a Beautiful Trick
I want to take my bodyboard into the water, not for myself, nor for my comrades, but for Mina. I want to surf along the lip of one of those waves; I want the sea to carry my unceasing love to their still bodies, I want the sea to tell them I’ve found someone I want to marry and that I have to say good-bye…
Most of all, I want to believe that being picked to help on the tug was no accident. I want to feel it somehow happened like that because things happen for a reason. I want to believe this more than anything.
"— Simon Van Booy, “As Much Below As Up Above”
