The Great Sensory Hilariousness of our Young Lives


this is one of my favorite pictures of Mira....taken at my friend Arlene's place...she lives right on Lake Erie

"As we grow up, we put away our laughter and our silliness and our
childish
noises, the great sensory hilariousness of our young lives. We pick up a
few
notions about proper behavior, like what books to read and how to go
about
getting married and buying a home and being polite and having cocktail
parties...and the next thing you know, the little child--who was also an
enormously alive sensory apparatus--is just another boring adult going to
work
in a seersucker suit with a briefcase."
