'if you can't touch something you created,how can you expect what you create to be able to touch anyone else?' - sarah, in america.
was riffling through some things today while suposedly packing my room,came across some things that i used to hold dear to my heart.where are memories exactly stored?they aren't stored in the mind,not per se,because the mind can't feel the way we do when we remember things that touch us.they're stored in the heart.it just hit me that we feel through memories.meaning.it seems we feel a certain way because of a certain memory.memories do bring pain,but at the same time,nobody can deny that memories do bring happiness,all sorts of different feelings.feelings are rather indescribable.the lack of it would be rather unbearable.memories change the way we feel.that's why certain things might not come across as being important to some,but might touch others in a different way,in ways we never expected.a single song,a word,a date,a building.all these memories affect us not because it moves the mind,but because it moves the heart.and what is stored in the heart?
memories.
'"What is in your heart,what you want to put in others."And side by side,Ruth and her grandmother begin.Words flow.They have become the same person,six years old,sixteen,forty six,eighty two.They write about what happened,why it happened,how they can make other things happen.They write stories of things that are but should not have been.They wrote about what could have been,what stil might be.They write of a past that can be changed.After all,Bao Bomu says,what is the past but what we choose to remember?They can choose not to hide it,to take what's broken,to feel the pain and know that it will heal.They know where happiness lies,not in a cave or a country,but in love and the freedom to give and take what has been there all along.' - Amy Tan, The Bonesetter's Daughter.
