Just missing a few people from my past. Wish I had them to talk to right now. They had so much of an impact on my life, yet Ill Never be able to speak to them. The past will never happen again and we only live in the present, each moment to each moment. I guess the only thing I can do to have made their leadership matter is to carry on the things they cared most about. The little things. Things most folks take for granted. Those are the only true things that carry on through the ages from generation to generation and stay more or less the same.. This reminds me of a quote from Thucydides: _________________________________________ So they gave their bodies to the commonwealth and received, each for his own memory, praise that will never die, and with it the grandest of all sepulchers, not that in which their mortal bones are laid, but a home in the minds of men, where their glory remains fresh to stir to speech or action as the occasion comes by. For the whole earth is the sepulcher of famous men; and their story is not graven only on stone over their native, but lives on far away, without visible symbol, woven into the stuff of other mens lives. --[Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War, 431-413 B.C.]
