I find you; 1
As I care for my daughters or as I write, I often find myself folding the past into the present, trying to fix the past by recreating a more sustainable version of it. 2
I forget you; 1
Thick time refers to the layers of history sedimented in an object; the palimpsests present in every edifice, every wall, every stone; it reveals the child in the adult or the previous drafts of a manuscript. 2
But you remember me; 1
Ever since my daughters began to read on their own, I have been wondering when and how they might encounter my writing. While I still wondered what kind of experience that would be, they surprised me with their precociousness. They seemed to get it before I even had a chance to explain it to them. 2
