she breathes

'The Maze, She Breathes' by Jaime Zollars

"...It seems like an awful lot of trouble, to go through all of this just to have an inkling of who you are.  But I suppose that it is all meaningful and important somehow, somewhere deep inside of you.  And the beautiful thing is, when you are finished remembering, when you are finished crying, you just walk in here, and let the water wash all your tears away."
