A kind of participatory anamnesis: Watching and listening in 2025 -> time/space yields to gravity/love. Wendell reads in 2009 a story with its roots in 1945 - my birth year, his eleventh. Two voices chime in even as I listen: Berry in another place: 'All the earth is either consecrated or desecrated.' And James Taylor, singing about another voice in a way that illumines how Berry's sound and cadence, apart from the words he wrote and reads, affects me, listening: 'To me the words are nice the way they sound .... She says them mostly just to calm me down.'
