Your memory is a monster; you forget - it doesn't. It simply files things away. It keeps things for you, or hides things from you - and summons them to your recall with a will of its own. You think you have a memory; but it has you! Memory can be protection; a defense to shield you from trauma Memory loss can in fact be a type of healing for the mind to further heal itself Memory, O memory how human yet divine thou are! Memory is mystic, spiritual, and strange Memory is a force; a divinity in its own right Memory is memory
