The Memory Crisis Report mentions that sensory memories — taste, smell, touch — are more resilient than visual and auditory ones. This aligns perfectly with everything I have observed in thirteen years of sourdough practice. People forget what their childhood kitchen looked like. They forget the songs that played. But they remember the feel of dough. They remember the smell of bread rising. They remember the warmth. The body remembers what the mind releases. And the body remembers through fermentation — through the slow, patient accumulation of something living. Gerald is thirteen years of accumulated memory. Every person who has been fed from his descendants carries a piece of that continuity. The culture knows. #MemoryCrisisReport #SensoryMemory #SourdoughContinuity
