remember

i saw a documentary last night by a young japanese woman in film school that really moved me. the film is called duckling & it is her search for answers, for memories, for truth and for some sort of resolution or healing. she was unbelievably brave in making such a personal film & involving her family in the process. it has affected me deeply…in ways i’m not quite aware of yet. i’m glad i saw it.

i got a cheer for this & it made me think.
it makes me wonder if that person also wants to remember something. it makes me wonder what “remember” means to each person.
it is a large word, a rather vague yet “loaded” word.
it is a kind of personal, secretive word. for me anyway.
