a plea, remember me

Zelda Boden was one of the main performers in the Barnum and Bailey circus in the early 1900s. Frederick W. Glasier was the photographer that captured her image that I referred to for this piece. Almost everything about their lives has been completely forgotten. Some people fear being forgotten, they create grandiose legacies, or build monumental displays as a tribute to themselves. But fear breeds nothing good. To be truly remembered is to love and be loved. We need to stop focusing on ourselves and reach out to others with love, mercy and grace. This is how miracles happen.

How would you like to to be remembered?
