"Memory is more than a looking back to a time that is no longer; it is a looking out into another kind of time altogether where everything that ever was continues not just to be, but to grow and change with the life that is in it still. The people we loved. The people who loved us. The people, who, for good or ill, taught us things."
~ Buechner, The Sacred Journey

- I am ten years into my second career, working with my church. And looking toward retirement to 4 acres, a house and a barn in Tennessee. Time's a-wastin'! (I blog over at www.xanga.com/madewyn)

I love Buechner. I love this passage of his. Thanks for reminding me of it.
BTW, I loved an old man cat who passed the 20 year mark. My favorite cat of all my years and who, because he was a ginger, influenced me to love orange kitties.
