This land is not your land, made for you: You grew out of it, not the other way around. This is the dust from which you arose. You may even think you paid for it, but look at what happened: it took from you your hours of labor and weeks of hand-wringing.

In Morrison’s Beloved the reader does not ask what will happen, but what is. This is the better question for conversation. What is for you? Now?
:- Doug.
No. It’s not simply that the human experiment begins all over again with each baby. It begins again, learns to talk, walk, goes through all puberty’s awkwardness and unsureness, through courtship and householder times, straight through to old age, each moment of each flinch of each encounter. All day long. Whether or not any one of them is attending.
