You are exasperated by my carelessness with mementos. I know I should keep a scrapbook, frame the pictures, and put the all the loose photos in an album. I would rather let the wind scatter them around the house, into forgotten books and drawers, to lie dormant until, one day, they are rediscovered. Icons and links are nothing without the power to move - and that power is reliant on the shock of renewal, like an almost-forgotten friend who knocks on your door to renew your acquaintance after an absence of many years.
