I walked to the window, the shades were down, but I pulled them out and I looked out and I thought, if this is what books can do, I want to do it.
And you know, I started writing terrible and silly things, but I didn't stop.
And that ambition stuck with me.
Is that hunger for writing like that still here?
It's still here.
It's a drive.
And, I mean, as I say in this book, which is the book where it may be the most pronounced, is it's a need, not a decision.
Right.
Many people who might stay married for a long time, but the happily married and the connected part is what seems especially—
But as the book went on, I realized that I was also celebrating that connection, or what I call the end.
Now, we did fight, and I tried to make that clear.
This is not a hagiography or some kind of romantic fantasy about the marriage.
We did have conflicts, and I do discuss my hypersensitivity and Paul's stubbornness as two things.
Stumbling blocks.
But no, you're absolutely right.
What I am left with, now it's over two years since he died, is a very strong feeling of gratitude for what I had.
Yeah.
What we had.
Yes.
You know, I realized when I was writing, now this is a subject that I've been interested in from any number of perspectives, both scientific and philosophical.
