"Instead of a book, what if we're actually writing (or not writing) in the margins of our lives? What if our lives are books? What is the sign of our presence? Are we pressing into the margins our interpretations and questions?

Or do we simply turn the pages, passively receiving what's given, furiously disagreeing but remaining silent about it?"
"Perhaps we can recognize our way out of patterns rather than repeating our way out of them."
