Several years later, I admit I have not made much progress. But, the passage you quote above has always stuck in my brain as I tried to remember what similar moment in my life evoked similar feelings. It finally hit me, my first cup of coffee at about age 24. Years of smelling coffee brewing as a child in my parents home, came back! I had forgotten about this until 2 weekends ago when I stopped by a Starbucks with my son (15). They were out of pasteries, so I bought madeleines with my coffee. Of course I went into a long explanation to my son.....but that is another story. I feel a novel in the works!
