The Spiritual Practice of Remembering Quotes

“Christian remembering is not a set of duties or list of skills to master–it is an intention, one that begins with the simple grace of noticing. Once you begin to look, the past is everywhere; the roads that our ancestors built and the trees they planted, their songs and books and pictures and monuments. . . . Their inventions make us more comfortable on a hot day and happier when the weather gets cold. Their tastes and style, their sense of order and place, define our surroundings. Whether we realize it or not, we are living in a world they built and are bound to their decisions–as our children and their children’s children will be to ours. (pp. 128-129)”
