On Remembrance

Today is a day of Remembrance. Mary Daly defined Re-membering as “Realizing the power to See and to Spell our connections among apparently disparate phenomena” – to bring together that which has been taken apart, to heal that which has been torn from each other, to work for harmony and peace.

To See is to be aware of that which is around us. To See is to understand that we are not a nation of war.

To Spell is to connect what we see with what we are trying to create. To Spell is to understand that remembrance isn’t enough to stop war.

To Remember is to connect our Selves to the history of Peace so we can name what needs to be done as we work for Peace.

Today, I again commit my Self to the work of Peace, asking Goddess to guide my thoughts, words and actions on this path. I Remember those who have come before me, those who work with me, and those who will come after me. I See with clear eyes and I Spell with a clear heart. Blessed Be!
