Local culture is
a collection of memories.
A community loses its memory
when people no longer know each other.
How can they, if they never learned each other’s stories?
Without them, how can they trust each other?
People who do not know each other
hesitate to help each other.
They live in fear.
Their stories are shared with
lawyers, insurance adjusters, therapists,
bartenders.
