About This Quote
Your soul is the priestess of memory, selecting, sifting, and ultimately gathering your vanishing days toward presence. Memory is one of the most valuable gifts that you have. It helps you to connect with the people who are important in your life. When you think about people who are no longer alive, memories of them come to mind.
They stay with you forever even though they are gone. Your soul is not simply a container of your memories; it is also an organizer and curator for them.
