“Sometimes the things you remember are more real than the things you see.” Arthur Golden
Can We? I thought I remembered this place, but my feelings were clouded and I couldn't recover what it was that I had expected of this moment, all vested in cherished memories now unrealised in the faces of strangers, and changes everywhere interfering in my attempts to find connections, and I asked myself once again, can we ever go back?

I’m not sure we can. Nothing seems or feels to be the same in this hazy world of recollection

Try as we might, we can’t go back–unless we write about it.

Something tugs but really, we can’t recapture the moment.
