this book now resides on my bedside table during the hours it is not in my hands. marlena is such a brilliant, illustrative writer with a love for all things italian and a talent for communicating her passion. line after line, i am in awe at her choice of words, but the following quote might just be my favorite:

“there’s no great secret to joy. just divine what makes you happy. that’s the first thing you have to know about yourself. then set out to have or do or feel or be-according to the knowledge. guide yourself. keep your own counsel. trust yourself. more or less, that’s your job in life.”

lilt me your lips, our lost breath intermingling.

synchronize our silence as lazy hours ease by.

waft cocoa, hazelnut, cinnamon scents around me.

tremble with me in paralyzing pauses.

i may no longer breathe without breathing you.

(judith pordon)
