"I am writing the memoirs of a man who has lost his memory."
Romanian/French Playwright
1909 - 1994
If you had no memory, what would your life be like? Memory is a crucial part of who we are as human beings. Without memory we probably would not have writing or painting. Memory helps us create both the past and the future. Without memory we would not have stories or even history. Yet for some of us as we grow old our memories begin to fade. First, we lose that important short-term memory. Even a trip from the bedroom to the kitchen is full of doubt and question. The the long-term memory develops holes. We lose a part of who we were. Cherish your memories. Put them down on paper. Incorporate them into your paintings. We need our memories in order to function. We need our memories in order to create.
