Status Updates From A Field Guide to Getting Lost

در کودکی هیچ دوردستی وجود ندارد :از دید نوزاد، مادری مه در اتاق دیگری ست برای همیشه رفته،از دید بچه ها زمان مانده تا روز تولد بی نهایت است.برای آن ها هر چیزی که غایب باشد،ناممکن ،از دست رفتهو دست نیافتنی ست.
(برای من این متن یاداوری کارکرد ذهنم بود که به کلی فراموشش کرده بودم)

i’m on a cultural, geographical, philosophical, and emotional journey w this one

“… a disintegrated [love] lies at your feet like a shattered mirror, each shard reflecting a different story, that it was wonderful, that it was terrible, if only this had, if only it hadn’t.”

“Every love has its landscape. Thus place, which is always spoken of as though it only counts when you’re present, possesses you in its absence, takes on another life as a sense of place, a summoning in the imagination with all the atmospheric effect and association of a powerful emotion.”

“In the 1980s we imagined apocalypse because it was easier than the strange complicated futures that money, power, and technology would impose, intricate futures hard to exit. In the same way, teenagers imagine dying young because death is more imaginable than the person that all the decisions and burdens of adulthood may make of you.”

whatever class i was taking when this book what recommended to me must have been a good one

quote 2
“Some people inherit values and practices as a house they inhabit; some of us have to burn down that house, find our own ground, build from scratch, even as a psychological metamorphosis.”

instead of update i offer quote
“Sometimes an old photograph, an old friend, an old letter will remind you that you are not who you once were, for the person who dwelt among them, valued this, chose that, wrote thus, no longer exists. Without noticing it you have traversed a great distance; the strange has become familiar and the familiar if not strange at least awkward or uncomfortable, an outgrown garment.”

Asså nä

I want to finish this book by Friday this week!

This book has more brain than me

درخشان. سخت می‌تونم بذارمش زمین

Very fascinating. Talks about getting lost literally (skiers, hikers) as well as losing yourself metaphorically.

I am feeling like this book is a precursor to her other book I have previously read ("The Faraway Nearby") and after further research I will assume this is correct.

فقط دوتا جستار مونده و اصلا آمادگی تموم شدنش رو ندارم🙋‍♀️

نمی‌دونم انقدر لذت‌بخش بودنش بخاطر اینه که اولین‌باره جستار می‌خونم یا کلا کتاب خوبیه

hmmmmmmm....

رابطه‌ی بین دو انسان در واقع قصه‌ای است که باهم می‌سازید و در آن خانه می‌کنید.

موضوع خیلی خوبیه حقیقتا، ولی هر خط که انتظار دارم نویسنده کمی به عمق بره از این سطح به سطح دیگه یا از شاخه به شاخه دیگه میپره تا یک جمله رو بارها و بارها به شکل های مختلف شرح بده. امیدوارم تا انتها اینجوری نباشه لااقل. 😾

با یه کتاب سبک ادامه بدیم ببینیم چی میشه 😃

A person in her twenties has been a child for most of her life, but as time goes by that portion that is childhood becomes smaller and smaller, more and more distant, more and more faded, though they say at the end of life the beginning returns with renewed vividness, as though you had sailed all the way around the world and were going back into the darkness from which you came.

To be lost is to be fully present, and to be fully present is to be capable of being in uncertainty and mystery.And one does not get lost but loses oneself, with the implication that it is a conscious choice, a chosen surrender, a psychic state achievable through geography.

واسه این کتاب دنیایی حرف دارم. دوتا کتاب هم چند روز قبل تموم شد. امیدوارم که تا حوصله دارم ریویو هاشون رو بنویسم و یتیم نمونن!
شماهم دعا کنید.

تاریخ بیشتر از تلاقی ها، انشعاب ها و گوریدگی ها پدید می‌آید تا خطوط مستقیم.

بیشتر از اون چیزی که فکر می‌کردم داره خوب پیش می‌ره. نهایت سعیم رو می‌کنم که آروم آروم پیش برم تا خوب مزه‌اش کنم.

همه‌ش حس می‌کنم موقع خوندنش باید ذهنم بازتر باشه تا خط و ربط‌های جالب‌تری رو توش کشف کنم.

به عنوان یک چالش جدید می‌خوام سعی کنم بر خلاف عادت و حساسیت هایی که دارم سمت کتاب صوتی برم و این کتاب رو صوتی گوش بدم. باشد که بطور همزمان اولین و آخرین نشه.

Onírico y poético 🤍

perhaps the most topical airport read of all time <3 (thank u glenn's recs for making me feel like the most esoteric ponderer in this terminal)
