How many years, and what these years do to faces and bodies. When we walked around the city together, I didn’t recognize anyone. There were faces that echoed. Echoes of travel along the mountain slopes. Faces with a smile that remained from the time when school time ended and swings began - hanging, on a metal chain and made of boards. But I was silent. I walked, looked around and was filled with all these memories, like autumn leaves that are collected to be burned.

There are days when you hear the approach of a thunderstorm, and there is tense silence all around, and suddenly the pressure changes barely perceptibly - this is the breath of bad weather flying over the planet, its shadow, gust, haze. The air presses on your ears, and you are stretched like a string in anticipation of an impending storm. The sky is spotted, the sky is colored, the clouds are thickening, the mountains are cast with metal. Somewhere in the house, a clock sings: “Time, time, time, time ...” Quietly, gently, like water dripping on velvet.

“Well, I can't help you with everything,” said Miss Loomis. - But I have traveled a lot and can tell you about different places. And if you like, run tonight, at eleven o'clock, on the lawn in front of my house, and I, so be it, will shoot you with a Civil War musket, of course, if I don’t go to bed yet.

- What nonsense! Kindness and intelligence are properties of old age. At twenty, a woman is much more interested in being heartless and frivolous.

- Yes, but suddenly there will be another meeting! Time is a weird thing, and life is even more amazing. Somehow the wheels or cogs turned wrong there, and human lives intertwined too soon or too late. I am too healed in the world, it is clear. And you were born either too early or too late. Terribly annoying mismatch.
Quote Explanation: 95-year-old Helen Loomis and William Forester, who is only in his third decade, turned out to be soul mates to each other. Spending their days in the old woman's garden, they enthusiastically chatted about being, travel, literature, art ... But Helen Loomis feels that her years are drawing to a close, and she can only thank William Forester for the best, albeit last, August in her life.

Children are children, grandmothers are grandmothers, and there is an abyss between them. They cannot imagine changes in a person without seeing them with their own eyes.

In the end, we live in an age when people have no value. People in our time - as a paper napkin to blow your nose, crumple, throw, take another, blow, wad, flush. People don't have your face...

So-so, need more sports games, it is necessary that man always was in the crowd that he was haunted by the sense of the herd - then he will not have time to think, isn't it?

Love is the answer to everything. This is the only reason to do anything. If you are writing stories you love, you'll never make it. If you don't write stories that other people love, you'll never do it.
