More From Mignon McLaughlin

The difference between a non-suicide and an ex-suicide leaving the house for work, at eight o'clock on an ordinary morning: the non-suicide is a little traveling suck of care, sucking care with him from the past and being sucked toward care in the future. his breath is high in his chest. the ex-suicide opens his front door, sits down on the steps, and laughs. since he has the option of being dead, he has nothing to lose by being alive. it is good to be alive. he goes to work because he doesn't have to.

Truly, we live with mysteries too marvelous to be understood. how grass can be nourishing in the mouths of the lambs. how rivers and stones are forever in allegiance with gravity while we ourselves dream of rising.

In, 1950, at the age, 19 i dropped out of st. george william college in montreal, as it then was, and sailed for england on the franconia. foolishly, no arrogantly, believing i could put canada and its picayune problems behind me, never dreaming it would become the raw material of most of my fiction and non-fiction. or that i would care so deeply about its surviving intact.
