"The wonder of being able to see life as a whole, at any time and at all times, is the great gift of memory. It makes all of life a piece in progress. With one part of the soul in the past and another in the present, we are able to go on stitching together a life that has integrity and wholeness. Because of memory life is not one isolated act after another. It fits into the image of the self and the goals of the heart. It makes them real. It makes them whole."
Joan Chittister from THE GIFT OF YEARS ~ Growing Older Gracefully ~
