giving them each what they needed -- empathy as legacy

I'm also thinking about 
in wind-up bird
the guy
who brings him the BOX 
from the old guy who USED to tell him STORIES 

the BOX itself 
is EMPTY 
the legacy is the
STORY

which the man has been unable to TELL anyone 
which the old man couldn't TELL 
while he was
ALIVE

SO
it's KINDA a legacy to
EACH of them

the LEGACY giving TELLER
& the non-judgemental TOLD
