Memorial Day. To memorize. To never forget. To remember. To put back together that which has been dismembered. To reconstruct. To always retain the ability to recall how things were. Somehow the way things were is often far better than the way things are. For one reason or another we will also look back on today as better than it seems at the moment because the past is whatever you want it to be. Most of us want it to be worth remembering so it's construction is often selective of the material that was best and that material (when separated from the bad and embellished) will build a structure more attractive than the one we live in today. I guess it would be of much benefit for us to be able to identify the best in this moment and build life to be just as attractive as we will one day remember. Memorial day is time to not only remember (reconstruct) the past but prepare this day as one that will one day be remembered as well.
