Time Shelter

by Georgi Gospodinov

If we are not in someone else’s memory, do we even exist at all?

the legend according to which Flora, the goddess of flowers, when giving out names to various plants, walked right past that humble blue flower and then heard a soft voice behind her: “Don’t forget me! Don’t forget me!” Flora turned around and called it forget-me-not, endowing it with the ability to invoke memories in people.

Whatever you read is what you shall become.
