There you'll find the place i love most in the world. the place where i grew thin from dreaming. my village, rising from the plain. shaded with trees and leaves like a piggy bank filled with memories. you'll see why a person would want to live there forever. dawn, morning, mid-day, night: all the same, except for the changes in the air. the air changes the color of things there. and life whirs by as quiet as a murmur...the pure murmuring of life.

There You'll Find The Place I Love

Juan Rulfo
There you'll find the place i love most in the world. the place where i grew thin from dreaming. my village, rising from the plain. shaded with trees and leaves like a piggy bank filled with memories. you'll see why a person would want to live there forever. dawn, morning, mid-day, night: all the same, except for the changes in the air. the air changes the color of things there. and life whirs by as quiet as a murmur...the pure murmuring of life.

This little piggy went to hades this little piggy stayed home this little piggy ate raw and steaming human flesh this little piggy violated virgins and this little piggy clambered over a heap of dead bodies to get to the top

Your wits can't thicken in that soft moist air, on those white springy roads, in those misty rushes and brown bogs, on those hillsides of granite rocks and magenta heather. you've no such colours in the sky, no such lure in the distances, no such sadness in the evenings. oh the dreaming! the dreaming! the torturing, heart-scalding, never satisfying dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming!
Dream Distance Sadness
Imagine you had a bank that each morning credited your account with $1,440 - with one condition: whatever part of the $1,440 you failed to use during the day would be erased from your account, and no balance would be carried over. what would you do? you'd draw out every cent every day and use it to your best advantage. well, you do have such a bank, and its name is time. every morning, this bank credits you with 1,440 minutes. and it writes off as forever lost whatever portion you have failed to invest to good purpose.

Dawn's faint breath breathes with your mouth at the ends of empty streets. gray light your eyes, sweet drops of dawn on dark hills. your steps and breath like the wind of dawn smother houses. the city shudders, stones exhale— you are life, an awakening. star lost in the light of dawn, trill of the breeze, warmth, breath— the night is done. you are light and morning.
Sweet Morning Stars
You have your wonderful memories," people said later, as if memories were solace. memories are not. memories are by definition of times past, things gone. memories are the westlake uniforms in the closet, the faded and cracked photographs, the invitations to the weddings of the people who are no longer married, the mass cards from the funerals of the people whose faces you no longer remember. memories are what you no longer want to remember.
Memories Past People
For many years, i have been moved by the blue at the far edge of what can be seen, that color of horizons, of remote mountain ranges, of anything far away. the color of that distance is the color of an emotion, the color of solitude and of desire, the color of there seen from here, the color of where you are not. and the color of where you can never go.

I close my eyes, thinking that there is nothing like an embrace after an absence, nothing like fitting my face into the curve of his shoulder and filling my lungs with the scent of him.
Relationship Distance Eye
We're finally becoming aware of a process that has been unconscious since human experience began. from the start, humans have perceived a birth vision, and then after birth have gone unconscious, aware of only the vaguest of intuitions. at first in the early day of human history, the distance between what we intended and what we actually accomplished was very great, and then, over time, the distance has closed. now we're the verge of remembering everything.

It turns out that the distance from head to hand, from wafting butterfly to entomological specimen, is achieved through regular practice. what begins as something like a dream will in fact stay a dream forever unless you have the tools and the discipline to bring it out.
