    Summary

    There exists a disease in which a child is born with only half a functioning heart. The left side is malformed. Damaged. The right side may work on its own for a time, but a heart cannot beat without its other half. It is only through persistence and care that this ugliness, this other side of the heart, can be guided toward life.

    Summary

    The moon asked the sun, “What do you know of love?”

    “It burns,” said the sun. “It brightens. It is something you make and then give away.”

    “Don’t listen to him,” said the clouds. “This big ball of gas doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”

    “Yes, I do,” said the sun. “Who but me makes the roses grow?”

    “We do,” said the clouds. “Love nourishes, like the rain. We turn the hills green and fill the creeks so they will sing in their creekbeds.”

    “Why do you ask?” said the sun.

    “I think I might be in love,” said the moon. “I am trying to understand.”
