Like a mirage.: March 2016

"One cannot look directly at one’s own face with one’s own eyes, for example.

One has no choice but to look at one’s reflection in the mirror.

Through experience, we come to believe that the image is correct, but that is all."

- 'The Wind-up Bird Chronicles' by Murakami Haruki

"...but she wasn't really living in our house, she wasn't really alive. She just stayed there in the same space with us, a pleasant presence, like a resident ghost.

She existed like a mirage."

- 'Asleep' by Banana Yoshimoto
