“The road you can talk about is not the road you can walk on.” Lao Tzu
Every now and then my husband likes to remind me what I said to him the first time I ever rode in a car with him. A truck, actually. This was in Fayetteville, Arkansas, in the mid-nineties, and we’d just met a few days before. He invited me to go for a drive, and about fifteen miles into the journey he asked why I was so quiet. “I don’t like to talk in the car,” I said.
