Memories Blessing Way

More From Henri Nouwen

You have your wonderful memories," people said later, as if memories were solace. memories are not. memories are by definition of times past, things gone. memories are the westlake uniforms in the closet, the faded and cracked photographs, the invitations to the weddings of the people who are no longer married, the mass cards from the funerals of the people whose faces you no longer remember. memories are what you no longer want to remember.

All this is a blessing and a curse. it's a blessing because it helps people establish what they value; they understand the sort of ideas they identify with. the curse is that they aren't challenged in their views. the internet becomes an echo chamber. users don't see the counterarguments.

The prosperity which now prevails is without parallel in our history. fruitful seasons have done much to secure it, but they have not done all. the preservation of the public credit and the resumption of specie payments, so successfully attained by the administration of my predecessors, have enabled our people to secure the blessings which the seasons brought.

I remember watching mel gibson on some show once, and he was being asked about his belief in the afterlife. gibson said: 'well, i can't believe this is all there is'. and i thought: 'wait a minute. you're mel gibson. you have millions of dollars. you're a great-looking chap with every conceivable blessing that could be bestowed upon a man. and that's not good enough ?'

When you suffer, you can look deeply at your situation and find the many blessings that are already surrounding you. it is wonderful to sit with a pen and paper and write down all the conditions for happiness that are already there, already available to you right in this moment.
