In Living Memory

How do we honor precedent while rupturing it for new life? As living beings we are time and space collapsed. We subvert linear time as we experience and shoulder the overwhelming shadow and noise of different memories, existences, and dreams in every moment. We cry, love, grieve, bleed, and just “are” every day. We pass down and inherit all of these things. We are entitled to keep them—a frighteningly stunning life. What is happening in the current moment, spliced with the past, is to live in memory, and that dynamic is to be human.
