<i&bt;Perhaps he had traveled. Now she would, too… He’d been missing too long for things to be wholly right. Nothing knew of him in the yard. Nothing in the house. All of it forgetting, slowly, slowly, she could feel it, and one could only last so long separated from the essence.

A quest waited in those circumstances, always.

The traveler was almost there. If this one knew nothing, she would ask the next. And the next one. One of them would know…. She stood broadside in the gravel and turned her head and asked her question.

-The Story Of Edgar Sawtelle, by David Wroblewski

I recently finished reading for the first time The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, which my wonderful neighbor Donna gave me. I loved it; it’s beautifully written, evocative, expertly tackles some tough story elements and leaves a mark on your heart.

I wrote up a *blog post about how the story touched me, and why I felt compelled to go make it into a self portrait :)
