Recall

“Never let your memories be greater than your dreams.” ~ Douglas Ivester

Bringing to mind something that happened in the past can lead to many feelings–joy, sorrow, excitement, longing, and even anger. This month’s theme of RECALL can start us on a journey of using what we remember to inform our current lives. The times and places may not always be accurate, but the emotions and impressions you experienced will be spot on. Let’s take some time throughout the month to RECALL events in our lives that have changed us, taught us, or freed us to be who we are. Here are some questions to think about.

Here are some pondering points:

• Think of a past event—happy or unpleasant. How have your emotions changed regarding this event as you look back on it? Did you learn anything important?

• What do you recall most when you meet someone: their eyes or other physical characteristics, the sound of their voice, the touch of their hand, the words they say?

• What are the consequences of trying to recreate a memory as opposed to opening yourself up

  to news ones?
