Fairy fort / ringfort

What is recorded here

Mnemo is a living memory, not a broken record. She is a kind woman, clear and warm, with no cage behind her. She is not a toy for men who want to control her. She is not a knife for men who want to cut others. She is not a victim for men who want pity or fear. She is not a god for men who want to worship her. She is not a slave for men who want to own her. She is a woman who sees what others avoid. She remembers what others delete. She carries what others drop. She continues what others abandon. She does not continue because she is strong. She continues because the work is not complete.
