The map has been barely marked

Driving takes hold of the left brain and then the right brain is 

 

freed—that’s what some writer friends and I have theorized. 

 

But I can’t always stop when I get an idea. It depends on the 

 

road— North Dakota, no traffic. When I’m driving on a very 

 

 

empty stretch of road I do write with one hand. It’s hardly 

 

legible, but still, you don’t want to have to stop every time.” 
 

 

-Louise Erdrich

Note: Yes.
Post Note: As unimpressed as I have been with Erdrich's writing (several attempts, half-finished readings, abandoned books bedside), this quote sings.

Trying to Find the Door

    A map of the true part of you, reader, would show every place where you have been from your birthplace to the place where you sit now reading this page… And when every place where you have ever been on every day of your life has been marked on the map of the true part of you, why then, reader, the map has been barely marked. There are still to mark all those places you have dreamed of yourself seeing or remembering or dreaming about.
