Voices of the Land

The voices of the land are all around, they include me, you, the old locals, and any outside source that manages to join into the tune of life that surrounds us.
What I hear and what you hear will always be different no matter how similar what we hear sounds. The big problem is sifting through what we hear and deciding what lessons or stories are worth telling someone else. As much as I might want to recall what someones favorite movie was, what would it gain.
So many words have been spoken to me and it's my job to play imaginary chop shop before I launch them back out for the rest of the world to hear. What if I miss the real message that I'm supposed to be relaying? I really shouldn't worry about it too much because whatever I say will inevitably be defaced by whoever I pass the story to. This makes me think about the black river part of this class, the river and land give a face to the story and allows it to be ever changing but also ever grounded.
I think I'll be writing about this in my essay.
