About Glia

Glia is made for keeping and remembering: this moment counted, this person mattered, today was tough but tomorrow will be better… It’s for train rides where you gaze longingly outside the window; it’s for kitchen tables where food tastes like laughter and banter; for long walks with dialogues in your head; for slowing down time by leaving a trace.

And if we are lucky, we get to exchange our precious keepsakes with friends. We give a piece of ourselves to those we love, because they see us and carry it with us.

“If it is a human thing to do to put something you want, because it's useful, edible, or beautiful, into a bag, or a basket… and then take it home with you, home being another, larger kind of pouch or bag, a container for people, and then later on you take it out and eat it or share it or store it up for winter… if to do that is human, if that's what it takes, then I am a human being after all.” — Ursula Le Guin
