The other beautiful thing about memory is that it enables us to round the sharp edges and leave behind what we choose to forget. This is where the book title comes from.
"If we have one miracle to make our own, one strength to choose–let it be the strength to turn curses into blessings, to learn joy from sadness and life from death."
We can become that nation you know. We can each lead a generous life of giving to those who have less and to make real inspired visions to better our city, our people, our nation, and our planet.
