It has been a long while since I have read about anything like this. Where is this essay?

I am in love with "a person is a person through other persons." As most times when I read something like this, I see a direct connection between that sentiment and how it was growing up in rural South Carolina. I think the phrase, "Who your people?" communicates the modern existance of that to a "T."

To be honest, just thinking about it has solved something I have been trying to birth for many years... how to tell a story through the community. Ok, that doesn't really get it... but maybe in the subsequent discussions, I will be able to bring it into words. As it is, I am being asked to trust, but trust for me ain't easy so this character keeps writing itself and its story every now and again, but I don't understand so I can't aid/guide. ...but really... that's just some wacko jacko lib. art ish...

What are you thoughts on the essay?
