I discovered a purpose for writing the book while writing it and really just wanted to help people find some peace, like the word solace. Some understand that we are not alone. We're with God and one another. that that person, when remembered, is no longer distant or lost in the moment of memory. They're reinvigorated.

They're revivified and are brought back to life in our minds, in our memories, in our extension of thought to them. They live again. So that's kind of what I wanted to say to people.

Yeah, my first understanding, remember is my favorite word, and my first comprehension of that was when I was 18, I was asked by one of the girls at the dance school that was on the same floor at Juilliard as I was, the drama department at the dance school was on the same floor, so we would all sort of co-mingle, and one of the girls said, I want to set a new piece I'm working on, she was choreographing,

to music but I want the music to be the spoken word and I have this poem that I'd like you to read for me while I do these dancing moves and I said sure so and the poem had the word remember in it and at which point I thought boy that is the most powerful word in the English language it has remained that way for me I mean I like a lot of other words as well but

Remember is the one that gives me the most pleasure because of the idea that you were once a member of something. You were once close to another person in their membership.

You take one step into it, the first sentence, the first word, and you're suddenly, you've broken through every time barrier in the world. You've pulled people out of the grave. You've re-embraced them again. And it's a wonderful thing.
