I'm going to tell this story backwards , because there is truly no other way to tell it . Sometimes in life all you can do is look back in wonder . Grasp at moments that seem to dissipate as soon as they are recollected . But what the mind cannot remember the body can hold on to . And I am often betrayed by my own body with a jerk , a flutter , a guilt inducing orgasm , a tear , a scent .... I'm going to tell this story backwards in hopes that in the end , it will all make sense .

We wake, if we ever wake at all, to mystery, rumors of death, beauty, violence. . . --.Annie Dillard
