So we must run back and forth between these two suns in our firmament—the presentiment of death and awareness of life—and avoid being transfixed by either of them. If we are lucky in this uncertain middle distance, we may form attachments and pro...

Tangina: You can't choose between life and death when we're dealing with what is in between. Now tell her before it's too late. Diane: Run to the light, baby. Mommy is in the light. Tangina: Tell her you're waiting for her. Diane: Mommy's waiting for...
