It's special, grandparents and grandchldren. So much simpler. Is it always so, I wonder? I think perhaps it is. While one's child takes a part of one's heart to use and misuse as they please, a grandchild is different. Gone are the bonds of guilt and responsibility that burden the maternal relationship. The way to love is free.

I sound contemptuous, but I am not. I am interested--intrigued even--by the way time erases real lives, leaving only vague imprints. Blood and spirit fade away so that only names and dates remain.

Nell was not one for friends and had never hidden her distaste for most other humans, their neurotic compulsion for the acquisition of allies.
Kate Morton
Image
She was the breeze on a summer's day, the first drops of rain when the earth was parched, light from the evening star.
Kate Morton

She's one of the few people able to look beyond the lines on my face to see the twenty-year-old who lives inside.

All true readers have a book, a moment when real life is never going to be able to compete with fiction again.

Reluctance to begin is quick to befriend procrastination. . . .

It is a cruel, ironical art, photography. The dragging of captured moments into the future moments that should have been allowed to be evaporate into the past should exist only in memories, glimpsed through the fog of events that came after. Photographs force us to see people before their future weighed them down.
