And I was remembering that time in our lives together, the time of those ritual walks.

But pain may be a gift to us. Remember, after all, that pain is one of the ways we register in memory the things that vanish, that are taken away. We fix them in our minds forever by yearning, by pain, by crying out.

Pain is part of memory, and memory is a God-given gift.

Not even Anais Nin.
