   Summary

   You do not have to be good.
   You do not have to walk on your knees
   For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
   You only have to let the soft animal of your body
               Love what it loves

   -Mary Oliver
    
   Or, after years of struggling with an eating disorder, Shane literally and metaphorically spills his guts in front of Ilya.
