“The past and present live alongside each other in our working lives, overlapping and intertwining, until it is sometimes hard to know where one ends and the other starts. Each annual task is also a memory of the many times we have done it before and the people we did it with. As long as the work goes on, the men and women that once did it live on as well, part of what we are doing, part of our stories and memories, part of how and why we do those things.”
