A letter to a memory. /But then, /What is the lived time of a memory? /Memory preserves past. /And memory creates present. /Memories create sites. /Spaces and landscapes. /Memories can create memories. /Memories can create nowness. /Memories create the "I", remembering to remember and remembering to forget. /Memories unbody the "I".
