More From Yo-Yo Ma

I've been baking bread and looking after the baby...everyone else who has asked me that question over the last few years says. 'but what else have you been doing?' to which i say, 'are you kidding?' because bread and babies, as every housewife knows, is a full-time job. after i made the loaves [of bread,] i felt like i had conquered something. but as i watched the bread being eaten, i thought, well, jesus, don't i get a gold record or knighted or nothing?

I find that a duck's opinion of me is influenced by whether or not i have bread. a duck loves bread, but he does not have the capability to buy a loaf. that's the biggest joke on the duck ever. if i worked at a convenience store, and a duck came in and stole a loaf of bread, i would let him go. i'd say, "come back tomorrow, bring your friends!" when i think of a duck's friends, i think of other ducks. but he could have, say, a beaver in tow.

Like so many pilgrims before us, we kneel in wonder and adoration before the ineffable mystery which. was accomplished here... in this child - the son who is given to us - we find rest for our souls and the true bread that never fails - the eucharistic bread foreshadowed even in the name of this town: bethlehem, the house of bread. god lies hidden in the child; divinity lies hidden in the bread of life
Children Lying Son
There are some people in your life who bring back old memories. and there are others - your first kiss, your first love, your first sex - who, the moment you see them, bring a spark...and something far more potent. they bring back your old life and with that, potential. and possibilities. and the feeling that if you were back in that time, life could be so very different from where you're stuck right now. that's the most tantalizing thing....i want my potential back.

You can't remember sex. you can remember the fact of it, and recall the setting, and even the details, but the sex of the sex cannot be remembered, the substantive truth of it, it is by nature self-erasing, you can remember its anatomy and be left with a judgment as to the degree of your liking of it, but whatever it is as a splurge of being, as a loss, as a charge of the conviction of love stopping your heart like your execution, there is no memory of it in the brain, only the deduction that it happened and that time passed, leaving you with a silhouette that you want to fill in again.

Writing is like sex. the more you think about it, the harder it is to do. it's better not to think about it so much and just let it happen.
