在我一生中的几次，我并不知道我只是踩到一个大X上。改变可能并不是我的想法。为什么要改变？我一直很钦佩生活蓬勃发展的生活。 Taproot一直到达含水层，叶子芽，蓬勃发展，跌落并再次成长。我喜欢几代人在同一所房子里彼此跟随，灯光在雪地上的灯正方形的窗户掉落在窗户上，某人的高度图仍然标志着厨房的门口。但是我站在X上，不知道该是时候飞跃了，那时我才想停下来。
(At a few times in my life, I've not been aware that I've just stepped onto a large X. Change might not be on my mind. Why change? I've always admired lives that flourish in place. The taproot reaches all the way to the aquifer, the leaves bud, flourish, fall, and grow again. I like generations following one another in the same house, where lamplight falls through the windows in squares of light on the snow, and somebody's height chart still marks the kitchen doorway. But there I stand on the X, not knowing it's time to leap, when, really, I'd only meant to pause.)
