The Natural Process

Forgetting is the natural process, remembering is the unnatural effort one makes. William Kentridge Shared with me by a dear colleague at work, I’ve been sitting with this quote from South African artist William Kentridge for a few days now. It struck me as a powerful idea because I suppose I’ve never really considered memory working like that, yet it feels true. It gives clearer meaning to the saying committed to memory as something requiring effort rather than some intrinsic or automatic process.
