We bear witness to difficult things so that they are not forgotten by the collective memory.
Bear witness to something important to remember today.
Memories of Love
Memories can be wonderful things–like remembering the favorite aunt who left this world at age 94 1/2 (yes she still counted the halfs). She loved me like a daughter and cherished my visits and phone calls. We all need that kind of special and unconditional love in our lives. The memory of her and what she said and did for me still makes me smile. -Judy DiCristofaro (CLF)
Bring to mind a memory of love today. Hold it close to your heart.
Autism Awareness
There are many ways that autism presents itself in people. This month, we dedicate ourselves to understanding the ways in which autistic people want to be witnessed in all of their fullness and to making sure that autistic people have a say in decisions made that affect them. For more information, visit Autistic Advocacy.
Take some time to read or listen to the words of autistic people today.
Memory
This month, we explore memory. The wonderful things we remember, the difficult things we try to forget, the pain of forgetting when we want to remember, and the importance of remembering what must not be repeated.
What is your relationship to memory?
Roots
“Roots hold me close, wings set me free” -Carolyn McDade, from “Spirit of Life”
