“I stared at a tree outside and envied it’s anonymity, it’s beauty and silence. One could appreciate a tree for its pure beauty and expect nothing more. A tree could stand over a hundred years and remain authentic.”

“Under a brilliant moon, and unbeknownst to us, the darkened world silvers and shimmers from pink and ebony wings, a small thunder. We can’t possibly hear such an astonishing wind while we try to keep in step with our small dances on this earth. But we should try. We should try.”

“‘Stay home,’ he urged me. ‘You’re thinking too much and driving yourself crazy.’
No, I thought. I’m driving myself sane.
The more my husband urged motionlessness upon me, the more I realized that he had no idea what I needed.”

“To lose myself, though disconcerting is not such a fatal thing. To be lost is to visit somewhere unexplored. As I relax my anxious grip in the self I have been, I am freer to unfurl in unexplored directions, mapping myself as I go.”

“I’d like to relocate the elements that define me. If I spend my days and nights gather for, shoring up my shelter and watching the vast land unroll around me, how do I know I am more than a creature? How can I pinpoint the source of my identity, now that I’ve stripped away the mirrors of job, house, friends? The location of my ‘self’ is elusive, trackless, though it seems to reside in this body somehow.”

“I thought, when I started, that on the road I could look at the bigness of the world - I could look at the unfamiliar ways other people enact their human lives - and find the freedom to make myself up in some creative, better, more expansive way. But instead, in all this uncharted space, I seem to be disintegrating.”

“I’m reminded, as we all stand here with one purpose in mind, of how we motorists pull over to the right automatically when an ambulance passes. It is in those moments that I feel most connected to humanity. It’s the only time I can imagine that nuns and serial killers are doing the same thing.”

“It has finally dawned on me that I’ve spent two decades acquiring knowledge, amassing facts, cramming my brain with a U-Haul’s worth of ideas. Yet one idea slipped out of a crate, or maybe the movers stole it, or maybe I never had it in the first place: I have no idea who I am.”
