lethe's status update
lethe
is on page 54 of 202 of Unexplained Laughter: 'Where do you come from?' asked Betty with an eye on Lydia.
'We came from the North,' said Mrs Molesworth, making herself sound like a Viking horde. 'We used to holiday here and we always promised ourselves we'd live here one day.' 'How lovely,' said Betty inadequately. (p. 46-47) |

“Our natural state is trust
in ourselves
in others
until we learn differently
then we hurt as we try to unlearn it
until it dawns on our hearts that if we live and act with pure intent
we do not need trust.”

“When you are turning pages
if you are in the midst of a really good writer
of the very rare kind
his or her voice becomes crystal clear
and all of your own so very still.
They sit down, fold their arms across
your lap and shhhhstillness from within
and from this
in this rare moment
you will be able to observe and then
if you wish
rewrite
your own story.
Yes, this is what the really rare and good writer does
and how reading can heal your life story.”

“Note to adults who work with children:
Tiny eyes watching yours
tiny ears hearing every word
tiny tongues repeating every spoken word ....
that is how I learn
that is how I become.
Your senses hold mine.
Your arms hold my every sense.
Your perspective frames mine.
You teach me what the world is
and what the world can be.
My goodness grows from yours.
Take good care ....
tiny hearts beating ... repeating ...
tiny little souls growing.”

“For I am—or I was—one of those people who pride themselves in on their willpower, on their ability to make a decision and carry it through. This virtue, like most virtues, is ambiguity itself. People who believe that they are strong-willed and the masters of their destiny can only continue to believe this by becoming specialists in self-deception. Their decisions are not really decisions at all—a real decision makes one humble, one knows that it is at the mercy of more things than can be named—but elaborate systems of evasion, of illusion, designed to make themselves and the world appear to be what they and the world are not. This is certainly what my decision, made so long ago in Joey’s bed, came to. I had decided to allow no room in the universe for something which shamed and frightened me. I succeeded very well—by not looking at the universe, by not looking at myself, by remaining, in effect, in constant motion.”

“Forgetting is like a great alchemy free of secrets, limpid, transforming everything to the present. In the end it makes our lives into this visible and tangible thing we hold in our hands, with no folds left hidden in the past.”

“A reader of mine is a deluxe reader, not because I’m so great but because in order to get to me you have to take a path through literature, not through some books bought out of curiosity at the bookstore. A reader of mine has to have read other things.”
