Converse with the 300 year elder can go both ways. If story is a good path, then we ought read stories of elders of 1719, and see what they evoke in us. We then communicate that back and forward in our own stories, our own meanings. Our pebble in the pond has ripples in more than one dimension. We might wake up in a kinder world.

We might also converse by observing what kinds of stories people wrote in those years.

But does reading their stories constitute a conversation? Not if we expect a back and forth you said I say. Yes, if we make it our own, and converse with the author via journal. Or display the conversation in short story or article. Does the ripple go up and down as well?

Poetry and story, rhythm and rhyme
honey and heart, imagination sublime
sweat and effort, life at the full
