Question

An example: when I was a young girl, I sat on the ground behind the towering lilac bush that grew on the side of our modest ranch house in Illinois. I imagined the branches were tendrils of a giant sea creature, octopuslike and hulking; it would barrel me along from one adventure to another in oily depths of the ocean. Today, when I smell lilacs as an adult, I’m immediately thrust into the past, my childhood home and the lilac bush, where the day stretched before me like a dream that lasts and lasts.
