Because if you don’t, it’s like you won’t any more. It’s like if you sit under the umbrella once, then that’s it. You have to still know, and you have to do enough … to carry you over. You have to be in there because you don’t want to be just waiting by the edge.

From a story Fishing by Patricia Grace. The entire story is here at the Sweet and Sour issue of the eXchanges Journal of Literary Translation at the U of Iowa. More info on Patricia Grace, an acclaimed writer of Maori lit in English, is here.
