Don’t forget to remember.

If you appreciate the good things in life (food, nature, relationships, etc.) chances are you appreciate history.

The endless events and range of subjective experience we can learn about make history one of the most interesting areas to spend time with.

Josh, our dear friend, knows a lot about Australian history. He used to be a guide at the Shrine of Remembrance too–a beautiful museum dedicated to the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC). Today, he was our personal guide through the Shrine which took us through all of the major conflicts ANZAC has been involved in.

It got me thinking about something that I do often ponder which is all of the different ways a life can be lived. The incredible variety of experience that’s possible and how different and complex each of ours is. The beliefs, the struggles, and the breakthroughs when viewed across people and time are immensely profound we can’t hardly wrap our head around it. We too have our own lives to think about.

My appreciation for the ANZAC was discovered today. If ever in Melbourne, or any place for that matter, take the time to visit a history museum or memorial. Let yourself be absorbed by the men and women who lived before you. There is wisdom and meaning to be found and applied into your life.

Thanks Joshy!
