remember
speaking of noticing things, you know how your subconscious memory is smarter than you are? honestly, i was thinking about megan a lot this week and then a friend said, "hey, isn't your friend's memorial date coming up?"
"you know, it is, thanks for connecting that for me, she has been on my mind."
this tuesday, october 12th, she will have been in heaven for 8 years.
in 2002 megan was killed in the terrorist bombing in bali, indonesia. for us back then this was an unspeakable tragedy. now i'm afraid that today's generation will see events like this as common weekly, if not daily, news items. "oh," they will say, "of course there was a bomb, it's tuesday."
(the concept of frequency + duration has a tendency to numb us i think.)
i have a shadow box collage of megan in my room. across the glass in gold i have written, "remember." so, joining my subconscious, i will call now to mind her life and legacy and do just that. without bitterness. without fear. i want to use remembering as a sacred act of continual forgiveness.
