Recall

Recall of  moments from the tender ages of toddler or adolescence are mere scraps 

that can no longer be proven even by others that may have been present. They would 

have been taller or shorter; not interested in what you thought was interesting and it 

probably was of great interest. You, as a toddler, wouldn’t have been 

annoyed but the delicate ego of 

your adolescent self would have been 

bruised. You have precise recollection 

of that as well. Sometimes excellent 

recall is not all it’s cracked up to be, 

but at least your ego has recovered.

“Memory is never pure. And recollection is 

always coloured by the life lived since.”

~ Josephine Hart, film writer

(1942 ~ 2011)
