Love something intensely. For instance, love swings, or turtles, or cherry crisp. Seek out swings on every outing. Venerate turtles who sun themselves on logs in the park lagoon. Beg for, bake, and devour abundant crisp. But then, on an ordinary day, stridently deny that you love that thing, even a little. If you wish, deny that you’ve ever encountered that thing at all. Curtail with tears all evidence to the contrary. Dry your eyes and carry on with your ordinary day.
