I shared a bed with my sister, grace, until i was seventeen years old. she was afraid to sleep alone and would begin asking me around 5:00 p.m. every day whether she could sleep with me. i put on a big show of saying no, taking pleasure in watching her beg and sulk, but eventually i always relented. her sticky, muscly little body thrashed beside me every night as i read anne sexton, watched reruns of snl, sometimes even as i slipped my hand into my underwear to figure some stuff out.

More From Lena Dunham

Children make better readers than adults. they read as carefully as i write; adults read as a means of getting off to sleep. i get letters saying 'i have read your book seventeen times.' if you're an adult novelist and you get that letter, you should be afraid. you're being stalked. kids always read them seventeen times!

Naptime,ʺ said christian, leading her toward the bed. ʺi still need a shower.ʺ ʺsleep first. shower later.ʺ he pulled back the covers. ʺiʹll sleep with you.ʺ ʺsleep or sleep?ʺ she asked dryly, sliding gratefully into bed. ʺreal sleep. you need it.ʺ he crawled in beside her, spooning against her and resting his face on her shoulder. ʺof course, afterward, if you want to conduct any official council business...ʺ ʺi swear, if you say ‘little dragomirs,ʹ you can sleep in the hall.

I asked my schoolmate mary to write a letter to me. she was funny and full of life. she liked to run around her empty house without any clothes on, even once she was too old for that. nothing embarrassed her. i admired that so much, because everything embarrassed me, and that hurt me. she loved to jump on her bed. she jumped on her bed for so many years that one afternoon, while i watched her jump, the seams burst. feathers filled the small room. our laughter kept the feathers in the air. i thought about birds. could they fly if there wasn’t someone, somewhere, laughing?

Gilbert took from his desk a little pink candy heart with a gold motto on it, “you are sweet,” and slipped it under the curve of anne’s arm. whereupon anne arose, took the pink heart gingerly between the tips of her fingers, dropped it on the floor, ground it to powder beneath her heel, and resumed her position without deigning to bestow a glance on gilbert.

What keeps faith cheerful is the extreme persistence of gentleness and humor. gentleness is everywhere in daily life, a sign that faith rules through ordinary things: through cooking and small talk, through storytelling, making love, fishing, tending animals and sweet corn and flowers, through sports, music, and books, raising kids-all the places where the gravy soaks in and grace shines through. even in a time of elephantine vanity and greed, one never has to look far to see the campfires of gentle people. lacking any other purpose in life, it would be good enough to live for their sake.

O mistress mine, where are you roaming? o, stay and hear; your true love's coming, that can sing both high and low: trip no further, pretty sweeting; journeys end in lovers meeting, every wise man's son doth know. what is love? 'tis not hereafter; present mirth hath present laughter; what's to come is still unsure: in delay there lies not plenty; then, come kiss me, sweet and twenty, youth's a stuff will not endure.
