11/08/02 Living in the Folds Yesterday I was listening to this song, and the lines "Found myself a picture that would fit in the folds sparked a whole mess of musings to bounce around between my ears. In general, we are emotional pack-rats - hiding various things away in any and every space we can find. We tuck pictures into lockets and/or wallets. We press roses, four-leaf clovers, cards, and notes between the pages of our books. Entire relationships get compressed into a single memento. We fold memories between the pages of our hearts. So what happens as we become more digital? As parts of our lives become more virtual? As more and more relationships form and exist entirely online? What will become of our keepsakes? An mp3? An email? Some piece of digital artwork? Can something be a memento if it isn't tangible? Maybe the abrasive wind on Harrison St. reduced my brain to the slow buzz of a fly in winter, or maybe it was the ratio of 1:10 sleep hours to awake hours I've been maintaining since Sunday, or maybe I'm just easily amused/fascinated.
