As we were driving around Oregon this weekend I kept seeing areas that I felt like I knew.
"Wasn't that where we blah, blah, blah?" I would ask.
Invariably, the answer was, "Yes! We were there when yadda, yadda, yadda."
And it struck me that I was starting to learn how to get around in Portland, Hillsboro, and the Willamette Valley and tying all of it together with memories of times of when I was there. Each locational memory had a person or family tied to it and I kept marvelling at how my connection with my husband supplied all these new branches in my mind. It blew me away.
In twenty years I wonder how big this spider web will be? How many people and times will mesh and overlay to create a map not just of the streets but also how the love of one person extends through space and time?
