The places we live - both physically and mentally, inner and outer lives - have the quality of palimpsests. A palimpsest, according to one definition, is 'something reused or altered but still bearing visible traces of its earlier form'.
Often, what we experience as a crisis, is the removal of what we have known to make way for something new and surprisingly good.
The way we see ourselves is different from how others see us, and I think their view is closer to the truth.
