Memories
What are these phantoms of the past trying to teach us – about life, relationships, what it means to be human, the needs of others, ourselves? The gift of memory is the chance not to have to repeat our mistakes, to avoid being trapped by the same negative cycles, to know that we can respond differently next time around. Memories may appear to be isolated images, lone visions, but they are always connected. When we remember, we see only what we shine the spotlight of reflection on, but beyond the illumination of our focus, our memories are inextricably tied into a larger fabric of related events and people, ideas and feelings.
