Not every object belonged to a sin or a saint. A lot of what I swallowed was banal: expired coupons, chipped keys, old receipts that tracked grocery lists and Sunday visits to mothers. Yet even receipts trace a life. They outline routines, ordinary fidelities—milk, bread, sympathy for a neighbor. In my archive these small things accumulated and were no less holy for their ordinariness. I cataloged them meticulously: item, date, weight, reported intention. The archive became a map of a city’s interior life.
