Memory is fleeting. Legacy is eternal.

With God, a mountain before me is soon to be a memory behind me.

I would wonder if forgetfulness is more a product of convenience than cognitive function.

Memory is a few lines snipped from a larger story that we are privileged to tuck away between the pages of our minds.

When it’s all said and done, everything that we’ve ‘said’ should have been ‘done’ in the life of another. And I would suggest that this is legacy. And I would further suggest that anything other than that is simply memory that we will soon forget.

It’s not that I can’t remember. It’s that I prefer not to remember, which means that I prefer not to remember what not remembering did to me the last time I did it.

Legacy is not what will be left of us once we’ve gone through our life. It’s what’s left of us that’s left standing once life’s gone through our life.
