Status Updates From Ongoingness: The End of a D...

I no longer believe in anything other than the middle, but my students still believe in beginnings. Ask them, and they will tell you that everything is about to start in just a moment, just one more moment. That beginner’s hope, the hope that ends with the first failure— when I was with the baby I felt that hope all the time.

"I knew I was getting somewhere when I began losing interest in the beginnings and the ends of things.
Short tragic love stories that had once interested me no longer did.
What interested me was the kind of love to which the person dedicates herself for so long, she no longer remembers quite how it began."

"I wanted to remember what I could bear to remember and convince myself it was all there was."
