7/20 "Leaves" by Ursula K LeGuin
64.media.tumblr.com/14152bcb879d...
Leaves by Ursula K Le Guin Years do odd things to identity. What does it mean to say I am that child in the photograph at Kishamish in 1935? Might as well say I am the shadow of a leaf of the acacia tree felled seventy years ago moving on the page the child reads. Might as well say I am the words she read or the words I wrote in other years, flicker of shade and sunlight as the wind moves through the leaves.
