life’s passages … 6

wednesday morning with Susan Fromberg Schaeffer

“… And there the mist refuses to part again over that time in their lives, and for a long time, I know nothing about them. Life is like that, a book left in the rain, ink erase by water, entire chapters disappearing. And then the story continues, and you must imagine the missing chapters that went before. Rest assured, it has continued, their story, although no one was there to let me read it. But since I began to write, I have come to know the rest of it, and so I will write it down. …”*

*cited: Susan Fromberg Schaeffe, Snow Fox, pg. 172

  1. Wonderful post. The quote from the book makes me think of working on the family tree, trying to discover something of their stories.

    1. Thank you Marie. As I wander through my family tree, the unknowing spaces of my ancestors has begun to be filled with amazing life stories and …. A greater understanding of myself.
