Quote by Francesca Lia Block
Witch Baby wanted to ask Ping how to find her Jah-Love angel. She knew Raphael was not him, even though Raphael had the right eyes and smile and name. She knew how he looked--the angel in her dream--but she didn't know how to find him. Should she roller-skate through the streets in the evenings when the streetlights flicker on? Should she stow away to Jamaica on a cruise ship and search for him in the rain forests and along the beaches? Would he come to her? Was he waiting, dreaming of her in the same way she waited and dreamed?
Summary
Witch Baby is longing to find her true Jah-Love angel, but is uncertain about how to do so. She compares her idea of an angel, someone who resembles Raphael physically, with the angel she envisions in her dreams. Witch Baby ponders different possibilities - roller-skating through the city streets, searching in the beautiful landscapes of Jamaica, and wonders if her angel is waiting for her as she is for him. The quote reflects her yearning and the willingness to venture into the unknown in pursuit of her dream.
