The moment a little boy is concerned with which is a jay and which is a sparrow, he can no longer see the birds or hear them sing.

And in that moment of sun and joy, Lupe knew why she loved and also hated Salvador. He gave her wings. He didn’t try to lock her in, as had Jaime and the other boys she’d known. No, she could dream her wildest dreams with him and so she loved him for this; but she also hated him because it made her fearful. No one in her family was like this. They were always very cautious.

Think of your day, today or yesterday. Think of the work you did, the people you met, moment by moment.
