“Lists procreate; they give rise to other lists. Nell wonders if there's a special therapy for excessive list-making. But if the two of them don't make lists, how will they remember what they need? Anyway, they like crossing things off. It makes them feel that they are getting somewhere.”

“Întotdeauna am avut grijă să am o grijă. Sunt omul care s-a culcat și s-a trezit cu griji. Simt grijile după pielea care mă strânge și gâtul care se-nfundă. Când mai scap de câte o grijă, umerii își amintesc că există spațiu de sprijin pentru spate. La școală grijile mele sunt ale mele, iar grijile celorlalți sunt tot ale mele. De aceea, multă vreme am fost văzută în școală ca doamna cu liste: peste tot unde mergeam eram cu lista în față, în cazul în care mai apare ceva să notez ca să nu uit. În plan conștient, listele erau oaza mea de control, iar în subconștient, în somn, îmi măcinam dinții și dezvoltasem ticuri puțin observabile: așezatul ochelarilor pe nas, atingerea bărbiei, verificatul urechilor. Am crescut o alergie față de colegii care stăteau: nu suportam să îi văd lâncezind la discuții superficiale sau la fumoar. Oamenii aceștia nu păreau să aibă griji, deci nu munceau, așadar nu existau. Nu terminam un proiect că deja mă gândeam la următorul, încât devenisem dependentă, fără să știu, de făcutul a ceva, ajungând să pun cât mai multe pe listă, ca să fiu văzută și ca să îmi justific pâinea.”

“I miss it if I’m not in it for any length of time; I don’t feel comfortable. I want trees and I want frequent rain.”

Rain Pacific Northwest

Author:Murray Morgan

“Here in the corner attic of America, two hours’ drive from a rain forest, a desert, a foreign country, an empty island, a hidden fjord, a raging river, a glacier, and a volcano is a place where the inhabitants sense they can do no better, nor do they want to.”
