Описание книги

Is it possible to find the revelatory, to find faith in a tiny blue berry? This is but one of the questions explored in this collection of engaging essays aimed at the intrinsically human intersection of memory and belief. Threaded throughout with an ever-changing cast of meadowland characters, not the least of which is a rambling barren of wild blueberries, these writings offer an intimate chronicle of one man's quest to understand what it means to believe. Again and again the author's words bring the reader from a particular geographical place to a location at once familiar and foreign, universal and unique: the landscape of memory. Whether grappling with the implications of adoption, or grieving over a lost family recipe; recalling a surprise encounter with an equally surprised red fox, or reconsidering the meaning of migration, Blueberry Fool is about the sheer fragility and strength of belief, the idiosyncratic light of memory, and the simple year-round pleasures of a wild meadow.

Memory, Moments, and Meaning

Thom Rock

.....

Which is it, then: is memory moving or static? Is it a fossilized jewel kept inside some velvet-lined treasure box to be taken out at will and admired? Or might it be something equally delicate but surely winged, an ever-evolving insect capable of metamorphosis and migration? Either way, I’d like to believe these moments will never fade away, but memory also has a trick up its sleeve: it can disappear in the wink of an eye. So I line the fluttering memories up across the page syllable after syllable to make of them something indelible. Something to believe in.

Even if memory is a time-traveler, a shapeshifter, it is what I believe in. What we remember and how we remember it shapes the story of our lives, of who we are. When we call forth moments from our individual journeys, or when they arrive unbidden, we cannot help attaching to them meaning and definition. The past becomes present in the present as well as the future: we become our memories.
