There is the truth of history, and there is the truth of what a person remembers. As {she} sat at the edge of {the lake}, memory blossoms floated unbounded, as though breathed, no words spoken. Like birds that fly across national borders, between countries at war at each other.

About This Quote

The truth of history is the truth about what happened in the past. The truth of what a person remembers are the memories that are created through experience. The memory does not have to be spoken or written down to be documented. It can be as simple as just sitting at the edge of a lake and feeling the water lap against your bare feet.
