revisiting

 The good side of having a bad memory is that everything I read before re-read so anew, like I haven't read them before at all.

I'm listening to "West by the Night" with V, the beautiful Africa landscape seen from sky by the pilot, the lion attacking stories, the horses... It's truly felt like the first time to get to know the stories. I am in love with the beautiful writing again. And I am glad V likes it too. I hope I am passing my likings to her.

On my side, I am listening to 'Out of Africa' meanwhile. The antelope story I still has a faint impression. I read the book after the movie, but the book is totally different from the love story in the movie. At that time I liked both. Now, at this age, I am pondering constantly how wise how open the writer is when she wrote the book. Her observation and conviction at that era still resonates, and being interesting, curious, doesn't get old.

And,  in HBO, I stepped upon "Jane Eyre" mini series by Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens.  I watched it before of course. The story I read many many times during my youth. Hmm, "Howl's moving castle" actually uses the same story formula as "Jane Eyre". The perfect girl saves the falling master... But formula always works when it's done well.

And, it is summer. I am walking to cafe (crosses a highway) every day. The sky is blue, clouds are high. And I shall remember that day on Apple Park, I didn't know at that time it was parting time.
