As the years move along its easy to forget. Even convenient. Sorry, I forgot.
I can't recall. I didn't think it was important!
Author Saul Bellow once wrote: "Memory keeps the wolf of insignificance
from the door..."
Do we brush off many unpleasant memories? - Or, allow them to keep us
awake at night? My God, it should never have happened! It could have been
different! If only!
Memory. Why do we remember some bad things and forget some very good things? Is it a choice we make? Or, are the memories a possible source of
inspiration if we allow ourselves to cut through the negative and find some
positive? And what about those with memory difficulties? Some times its just
out of our hands...
Perhaps we ought to relate more to nature as far as the memory is concerned.
Mother nature remembers all the twists and turns of every season and the changes that take place. People however, being different as night and day
make decisions and have choices. So many of us turn to that common saying:
Oh, I just forgot! And perhaps our interpretation of memories might drag us
down or allow us to rise about past circumstances? And if by chance our choice
is to rise above circumstances, then jus perhaps the memories that we find
unpleasant can be cast upon the water in a sense....taking us to a new level
within our lives. Finding there is life beyond life. And life can of course be
both better and different if we make those choices. But being creatures of
habit we seem to remember about half of what we should (at times). Or is it
perhaps that we just want to forget the other half?
But not unlike our computers, if we dig deep enough we find there is plenty
to remember...so we try to store those things until the years move along and
in the autumn of our lives much just simply gets forgotten, just like the
fallen leaves, left for the wind....to be cast upon the water....
