This is WONDERFUL! I love the direct address and the concrete details of the city, very evocative. And this line, it is incredible: “I am calling back through time, hoping the echoes will bounce off the corridors of history and memory, a kind of locational sonar for the person I was, who will somehow hear and find a connection to the present.”
Rachel you are brilliant and I want to read more. More entanglement in philosophical metaphors, and more of your attempt to grapple the ways we trip over our many storied selves, again and again, in search of meaning. The broken, mysterious, love story lurks at the heart of the self-realisation campaign, as we gaze at our old self, subject to object. The tyranny of an ill body's hiatus from time in motion's incessant production, reproduction, destruction and repetition.
What does the mind do in its solitary vault but turn towards the magnificent wake manifest by our past?

Can’t wait to read more!
Thank you so much! Posting it was kind of an experiment, I usually share more linear essays on this platform. I’m so so glad it resonated ❤️
Amazing as always! A pull into the memoir itself...can't wait until I can read the whole thing!
