I have reflected many times upon our rigid search. It has shown me that everything is illuminated in the light of the past. It is always along the side of us–on the inside looking out. Like you say–inside out.
In this way I will always be along the side of your life and you will always be along side of mine. Our families will be with us and our families’ families…
I am sending you this because we have shared something
to exist for and, of course, in case anyone comes searching.
The character Alex Perchov, Scene 24, Everything is Illuminated, film by Leiv Schreiber, based on the novel by Jonathon Safran Foer
I watched Everything is Illuminated again. It’s one of my favorite movies. About a young man who collects to have memories. He sets out to discover his grandfathers story when he finds an old photograph of his grandfather as a young man with a young woman. His search takes him and his translator and guide beyond what any of them expect. The magic of the story is illuminating.
