Memorial Day

So what is the one moment, the one "thing," that you must remember -- that you must heed, for your life to continue to have meaning and value.

Is it the moment of love -- the day you proposed, or were proposed to? Or death  -- the day your most beloved one died? Is that moment in your life, or in someone else's? Is it a national moment -- say "the morning of 9/11?" Is it a tiny moment, one that only has significance for you personally?

Or perhaps the day Kennedy was shot, or Reagan? Or Nixon's resignation? Or the day that will live in infamy -- Pearl Harbor Day? What are the ideas and real values that shape that/those moments for you?

Is there nothing to remember? Nothing good; nothing bad? Are you a Trumpian "tabula rasa?"  Do you think and reflect at all -- or do you only live moment-to-moment?

Everyone's moments are personal, private, intimate. Mine are not the same as yours, probably.  And yet we must all individually cherish our moments and live by them -- or we will become vacuous and empty. Life is too short to live out without living in both our past and our future. We are beings that mentally can move in time and reinvigorate ourselves through thought -- then action. We are human; we reflect our source. We bring honor to our origin(s), whatever they are.




Continue to resist; resist; resist!!!!
