I Like To Read Either

My Father Always Taught By Telling Stories About His Experiences. His Lessons Were About Morality And Art And What Insects And Birds And Human Beings Had In Common. He Told Me What It Meant To Be A Man And To Be A Black Man. He Taught Me About Love And Responsibility, About Beauty, And How To Make Gumbo.

My Experience Of People In Dementia Is That A Lot Of Their Personality, A Lot Of Their Knowledge, A Lot Of Their Experience Is Still There But There's Not A Direction Connection That They Can Just Reach Out And Get It And Then Bring It Back.

Many & Most Moments Go By With Us Hardly Aware Of Their Passage. But Love & Hate & Fear Cause Time To Snag You, To Drag You Down Like A Spider's Web Holding Fast To A Doomed Fly's Wings. And When You're Caught Like That You're Aware Of Every Moment & Movement & Nuance.

... We Must Remember That There's More Than One Story And Plot In Every Novel. There Are At Least As Many Stories As There Are Main Characters, And Each Of These Stories Has To Have Multiple Plots To Keep It Going - Blood And Bone, Nerve And Tissue, Forgotten Longing And Unknown Events.

I Like To Read Either In Motion Or In Water... I Am Happiest Reading In The Bathtub.
