And, I am something that I have always been. Carried with me from a time
I can only hope to discover, in all the challenges and transitory
changes there has been a continuity that I know as 'me'. Olfactory
memory has played an important part in discovery but not as they say it
commonly does, mine are distinct and unlike anything I've ever smelled,
they unlock vague periods of time then the metallic taste zeroes in on a
time until I am again experiencing the world as it was then, for me. It
happens similarly at times when I am remembering a dream of the present
time, except it is all visual/emotional.
