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"

November 16, 2010 Part II

"And there is this David," said Mrs. Plambeck after she finished playing JRB's "I'm Not Afraid of Anything" for me. Who is he? is a question, but the greater question is, Who am I to David? I believe David is in the audience. During my performance [on the 19th] I would find him, sitting, listening, his eyes on mine--or standing because he was late, leaning on a wall, sideways but attentive.
     Please love me and stay.
