@KangJesseJames @nealjclark1 1/ Around a small, rural church, I'm struck by the way old timers instinctively devote a solid, 'slow' portion of everyday conversation to *naming* local histories - of one another, land, dependencies and so on. 'Speaking community aloud', a localized form of prayer, it feels.

And the form of prayer,
like the form of poetry,
can be local, too.
