“Remembrance
is a form of Meeting”
- Kahil
Gibran
A
friend this summer spoke of “Remembering to remember.” Our cyberspace
discussion explored the significance and sacredness of recalling those moments
of peace, love, consolation, mercy , compassion , companionship , blessings and
grace. Well, those are my words and how I recall the exchange. It is difficult
to describe. Sometimes words do not suffice or maybe I am not skilled enough to
conjure the words that would accurately represent the essence of that
conversation with my friend or how we really feel when we are remembering any
of those moments that make life a unique gratifying experience.
So,
if I were to be assigned by some teacher to craft a short paper or presentation
on the first summer living at the Jersey Shore I would fail . It is not that I
can’t remember but rather that I remember so much and I can never say or write
anything “short.” I can only think of a couple of alternatives… just to be
quietly grateful and remember how blessed I am or , as the saying goes “a
picture says a thousand words,” to post a sampler of a few photographs
that represent a select few of
those blessed moments.
