A mental stain can neither be blotted out by the passage of time nor washed away by any waters. Cicero
Slights, put downs, and pain- ful times, however, are differ- ent. I don’t need memory cells to
store these devastations.
They just head straight for my heart and are permanently lodged—becoming who I am, and like the ancient mariner, a burdensome sack I must for- ever carry. What makes us forget or re- member? It’s sort of the same conundrum where people only
buy newspapers with
big doomsday headlines. Of course, if you’re in the dentist’s offi ce, you’ll try to recall your happy memories, but by and large our brain—grey in mat- ter— is made of melancholy material. Even the wisest sage will tell you life is suffering and that it is imperative for a baby not to smile, but cry at the moment of his entry into hu- man membership.
Thank goodness, though,
there’s always simmering stew smells, blazing autumn days, gestures of generosity. That’s when a gurgle will run through my synapses, memory kick starts, and decides, “Hmm… not bad…think I’ll remember that.”
It is a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it. -Somerset Maugham
The famous Olympic skier Picabo Street (pronounced Pee-Ka-Boo) wasn’t just an
athlete...she was a nurse working at a Intensive Care Unit of a large metropolitan hospital. She was not permitted to answer the hospital telephones. It caused too much confusion when she would answer the phone and say...
“Picabo, I.C.U.”
Dad noticed his 5 year old daughter out in the backyard brushing the family dog’s teeth. When he asked her what in the world she was doing, she replied quickly, “I’m brushing Scotty’s teeth. But don’t Worry, Dad, I’ll put your toothbrush back, like I always have.
