Anne Lamott - Rosie had to keep her room neat enough so James...

Rosie had to keep her room neat enough so James would not freak out, but not so neat that they could figure it all out, break the code, of who you truly were, what you were up to, your values, your truest parts... You were layer upon layer of ideas and erasures and new ideas and soul and images. [p. 68]
