Rememberance
Rememberance... what will be remembered of you when you have left behind this mortal coil for the realms beyond?
Will yours be a life celebrated for it's brilliance? A flaming ember in the fires of history, a glowing example of humanity's finest pinnacle?
What shall you contribute to the ever evolving play that proceeds without err from sunrise to sunset? What shall be remembered of you?
Will the aeons weep for the loss of a loving heart empassioned of life? Or shall you fall to the shadows of mens minds, a flicker in the cosmos?
I say it comes to this, that love for love, and life for life requited is our duty to ourselves, our posterity... we must not waste so precious a gift.
Do not cloister yourself from your family of the world. A simple smile, an uplifting phrase, pass these to all you meet. Live in mirth, with all that is possesed within your heart... for only one thing is certain:
We shall find our immortality not within the halls of the heavens, but within the memory of those who we loved best. Eternal is the life of which the legacy is love, and laughter.
