my most favorite sentence
october 28, 2007
of all the sentences i've written over my entire lifetime and even (perhaps particularly) over the past 10 years or so when i've really started to pay attention to the words, this is my most favorite of all of them:
"it would ease in your understanding of me if i could convey to you my perceptions, some sort of perspective from which i view the world that i could lend to you so that you may see through my eyes just a glimpse."
i wrote that on the 3rd floor of the seaver science library on the university of southern california campus on 2/13/2001. i can't explain why it's my favorite, or what sparked it, or anything specific regarding my fondness towards it other than i just like reading it and saying it out loud. a whisper-soft, run-on mantra.
