- Try to be someone on whom nothing is lost (View Highlight)
- Self-aggrandizement: loving objects as an extension of yourself. As I unpack boxes, I love my past self for all the objects she chose. I tell her thank you even though she probably doesn’t hear me, let alone believe me. (View Highlight)
- I used to think writing was an extension of loving. The failure to articulate, to make that love real, well, that would just be bad writing. Good writing is loving. Which is to say writing is an act of devotion. To borrow from Nelson, it’s an etching, like a tattoo, seeped into the bone. It’s forever. But now I wonder if writing is not just an act of loving, but an act of constant missing.
Number 232 in Bluets: Perhaps, in time, I will stop missing you. (View Highlight)
