A return

" Barthes: when a certain amount of time's gone by without any note-taking, without my having taken out my notebook, I notice a certain feeling of frustration and aridity. And so each time I get back to note-taking (notatio) It's like a drug, like a refuge, a security. I'd say that the activity of notatio is like a mothering. I return to notatio as to a mother who protects me. Note-taking gives me a form of security" (La preparation du oman, 1979) "
