“How do you go to your own house when something has gone bad on the inside, when it doesn't seem like your place to live anymore, when you almost cannot recall living there although it was the place you mostly ate and slept for all your grown-up life? Try to remember two or three things about living there. Try to remember cooking one meal.” HomeLossSadnessSorrowWilliam Kittredge Author:William Kittredge
“Sometimes there is no choice but to walk into your own house. Far away, you think, and you do not want to see. You come home and you say do not tell me. You say, I have hunted the elk all over the snowfields of the Selway, and I do not want to know what happened here. And then there is a morning you walk in and take a look in your own house, like any traveler.” HomePastChangeSnowWilliam Kittredge Book:We Are Not in This Together: Stories Source: We Are Not in This Together: Stories
