Glia is made for keeping and remembering: this moment counted, this person mattered, today was tough but tomorrow will be better… It’s for train rides where you gaze longingly outside the window; it’s for kitchen tables where food tastes like laughter and banter; for long walks with dialogues in your head; for slowing down time by leaving a trace.
Memory has always been about stories and keepsakes, gathered from wherever we experience beauty and aliveness. Best when shared with friends.
“If it is a human thing to do to put something you want, because it's useful, edible, or beautiful, into a bag, or a basket… and then take it home with you, home being another, larger kind of pouch or bag, a container for people, and then later on you take it out and eat it or share it or store it up for winter… if to do that is human, if that's what it takes, then I am a human being after all.”
— Ursula Le Guin
Memory has always been about stories and keepsakes.
Gathered from wherever we experience beauty and aliveness.
