"A free society cherishes nonconformity. It knows from the non-conformist, from the eccentric, have come many of the great ideas."

But there are moments, walking, when I catch a glimpse of myself in the window glass, say, the window of the corner video store, and I'm gripped by a cherishing so deep for my own blowing hair, chapped face, and unbuttoned coat that I'm speechless: I am living. I remember you.
