Why do we remember what we remember? When most of it’s forgot, then why just THIS warehouse of just THESE things? Maybe the memories that stick around want something from us. Or maybe, more than just something, they actually want us. What I mean is that the stuff of memory competes for us, claims us, takes us away from what is present. And yet we’re present in the memory. Who are we now when we’re present then? I’ve been wondering lately, when I’m staring at the walls, if the stuff of memory isn’t made of the same stuff of dreams.
