The Road / Cormac McCarthy

Just remember that the things you put into your head are there forever, he said. You might want to think about that.
You forget some things, don't you?
Yes. You forget what you want to remember and you remember what you want to forget.
Cormac McCarthy, The Road
"To live a creative life we must lose our fear of being wrong." Joseph Chilton Pearce

"If you press me to tell why I loved him, I feel that this cannot be expressed,
except by answering: Because it was he, because it was I."
Michel de Montaigne, "Of Friendship"

Coming back from forgetfulness. 


I had the best week of my summer July 12 to 16 at Ragdale. For the second time, I had these amazing writers sitting next to and in front of me writing and reading their works. I quoted some of their works for they were all so good I wished to steal them. The kind of phrases you think, I wish I could write like that.

"time thaws" --Kamal
"You cannot simply take down the picture." --Nicole
"dangling from the strings of your heart" --Molly
