Remembrance day reflection
Channel: andrew schmidt

When we remember we return to ourselves a piece of the past, we give new life to history, personal history or; on days like today, corporate history. It is as though we are adding colour to the old photos from the past.
We are not however machines that colour unthinkingly, but rather, meaning making creatures, that must choose what and how to colour. 
I know that some people will remember the battles in which thousands died, some will remember that we owe those who fought a great debt, some will remember friends or family members, and some, heroes.
This year I choose to remember the power to laugh, and care, to share and hope that continues to be displayed by people in the most trying of times, in the hope that my remembering may in some way help me to add that to my life.
