Kin by Mary Kroetsch

Heading out from your home today, you return and it’s gone.  Nothing left.  It is not hard to visualize this with one global catastrophe happening upon another and affecting many lives left homeless.  It could be a natural disaster or war, but when it is safe to return, you rummage through what is left, looking for pieces of you to salvage, hoping for just one thing of what was. 

Home has and always will be where your story is.

Preserve what was.

You stay because you can’t leave your story of this place to somebody else.

Archaeological Dig

You search for anything and everything that survived, piecing together proof of your story.

Build what can be.

You erect not a wall, but a strong bridge connecting the story that was to the future that will be.
