Sometimes it would just feel nice to forget. There isn't much to complain about, really. In fact, many things to give thanks for. But in the midst of this, there are always thing to do, and things to remember.
Everything that falls upon the eye is apparition, a sheet dropped over the world's true workings. The nerves and the brain are tricked, and one is left with dreams ... Darkness is the only solvent.
Housekeeping, Marilynne Robinson
Freedom is a precious, precious thing. There is only one place, and I long to be there.
