"Each one has his reasons: for one, art is a flight; or another a means of conquering. Why does it have to be writing, why does one have to manage his escapes and conquests by writing? Because, behind the various aims of the authors, there is a deeper and more immediate choice..." Sartre, Jean Paul (1905 - ) Reason & Writing
There are moments that one has no desire to return to and then there are those special moments one longs to relive. Perhaps it is the anticipation of capturing something missed, that would augment the understanding of the significance of the moment, that intensifies the desire to go back. Alas one can not turn back the hands of time. However, retelling of the account allows one to escape the present and relive the desired moment, if not only for the duration of it's narration. Writing this memoir has allowed me to revisit a special moment that changed my life for the better and allowed me to understand a great aspect of love.
