My memories

I grew up in Mount Maunganui and rarely went to Auckland. In looking back to my early memories of Auckland, only two are strong.

One is the image of Auckland University. I remember a big white gate. I don't think this ever existed on campus. It might be just a figment of my imagination that I have over the years elaborated with images from my experience.

Memories exist in a sphere of real experience and an infinite imagination.

The other memory is of large tree roots. Don't remember the tree, but remember climbing over the roots. This memory is also blurry. Though I feel as if it relates to Auckland, but it may have been acquired elsewhere. Memories may not attach itself to a place, it can be for many places.
