“There is something unbearably poignant about the human desire to know and be known, eternally at odds with the need for privacy and self-protection. We each are separated from one another by the things we keep secret or are unable to express; that distance, no matter how slender, imparts a loneliness to our existence that we can never quite overcome.” – Averil Dean, The Undoing
But all our secrets are the same

I believe today is Averil’s birthday, if I remember correctly. Happy Birthday to Averil!

Thank you, Pamela. Happy Birthday to Averil, though she and I have fallen out of touch.
