The invisible gossamer

"Wherever they might be they always remember that the past was a lie, that memory has no return, that every spring gone by could never be recovered, and that the wildest and most tenacious love was an ephemeral truth in the end." --- Gabriel Garcia Marquez (1927-2014) The best way to pay tribute to a writer is by reading his books. I had just finished reading Marquez's "One Hundred Years of Solitude" when he passed away to his own realm of magic realism. Reading the pages of the book was like riding a roiling wave which touched two worlds of reality and fantasy thru its crests and troughs. Look up and you can see the invisible gossamer separating the worlds.
