This Sunday is All Saints Day, the day when we are remember. We Re-Member those who used to be here, but are not, and by re-membering we make them members again of our circle ... even if they are not present in body.
There are lots of memory devices. Bring yours. <-- Repeat.
1. How do you remember something important? Notes? Write on your hand? Tell us your stories.
2. What memory-devices do you have at home? Bring them in. Pictures? Mementos? Souvenirs? Why do we collect these memory-laded things? Where do they transport you? Why do we need such transport-ation?
3. OK, technologically, we have LOTS of memory devices. Bring in everything about your computers that serve as memory-keepers. (Keep your computers at home, but let me start a list: flash drives; how will you finish this list? Who can bring in the most memory-laden devices we use?) Why are these important? What are their limitations?
4. Back to All Saints Day. After thinking through 1-3, "What now is memory all about?" (Imagine not having ANY memories?) How do all these reminders and memory devices help us be mind-full? What's the point?
Caleb, participate as you see fit. Maybe a picture of #2 and #3 with some narrative can be a good way to be "presente".
PS: I think we're being asked to come dressed as a biblical character, should you wish to do so. Hmmmm.
