More than 2 months with no update in this progressing book, 2 months is a gap that remains covered throughout our family history.

The thousands of stories that took place in a second summer within China&#8217;s borders will have to be unraveled elsewhere. Nothing will be mentioned of this, unless, in some inattentive moment in the future, I fill another page, mindlessly reviewing one of these previous months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, none of this matters. Deterministically, I could have written the above at any time, and in any place (with a nod to chance, in a deterministic sense, that is!). The thoughts I would have while writing the above, the memories I&#8217;m trying to recall (and the memories I&#8217;d rather avoid) might differ there and then, but it doesn&#8217;t matter for the final story. According to mathematical \u201cderive\u201d, the moment between experiencing and remembering, or remembering and writing down (or not, in today&#8217;s story line) could be divided endlessly until it becomes indivisibly small. Thus the written becomes equal to the memory. And the memory becomes the experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that memories can also be experienced, or remembered, themselves. Making an experience almost unmemorable. And all the more special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Written on September 9, 2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unbelievable!
