"But you see, Meg, just because we don't understand doesn't mean that the explanation doesn't exist."


- Madeleine L'Engle, A Wrinkle in Time


Do you want to tell me a lie?
We’re as dirty as the ashen sky inside,
and I want something like a firecracker,
exploding in the troubled night,
so for just a second I can ignore everything,
and remember that the colours were beautiful.
