“You remember too much,
my mother said to me recently.
Why hold onto all that? And I said,

“Memory is a barricade against forgetting; light is a bulwark against darkness; life is a flex against the stillness of the grave. Maybe that's what I'm trying to do here, clear a space in all the debris, through all the anxieties and worries, where I can just exist, easily and simply, entire, for as long as I have left.”
― Helen Humphreys, Wild Dogs
