“I was once told by an old Northern Ghanaian diviner that everything remembers. He passionately believed that if we knew how, we could draw memories from deep within the fabric of objects. He had built his highly successful divining practice upon the conviction that we charge everything we touch with memory. He argued, that every object emanates fading echoes of its past; and in turn, every object that touches us, somehow remains with us, percolating its essence down through our flesh into the fabric of our bones, where its record stays frozen, forever. Ultimately, he posited, the only thing of value we could leave behind would be the memories we activate in the people and possessions that we truly touch”. Augustus Casely-Hayford
