It isn’t hard but it does take courage
To BE someone who remembers
Who takes the time
Makes the effort
And who seems often to remember
Silently, never intending to acknowledge it.
I have been someone who remembers things you’d think,
really, WHY ON EARTH DO I bother?! But it’s NOT really a choice. It’s also been
tested quite a lot in the past decade or so. I’m sure that anesthesia has
played a part in that. There are Now many little pockets in my memory that seem
to have grown holes in them. I’ve actually forgotten whole chunks of Life and
some of the people, times, and places my path has crossed…
And there is also the useless, even counter-productive
remembering. Like replaying a movie of a time in my Life and having things turn
out an entirely different way. BUT… I am NOT talking about that, even though
sometimes that happens in the sort of remembering I AM talking about. Just a
hazard to work round…
BEing someone who remembers is bold, dangerous, and
terrifically tender. It gives a million and one opportunities to send love and
good wishes out into the World. It is one of the most generous ways I know of
loving people, of loving LIFE, of loving myself…
I love you, Currie
