DUSTY MEMORIES

There are times when I feel like the character Pig-Pen, the way past memories follow me around like a cloud of dust.

Pig-Pen once proclaimed: ‘You know what I am? I’m a dust magnet!’ That describes me--a magnet for memories that collect inside my head, like dust on a coffee table. 

 

Ping-Pen once referred to his messy life as ‘the dust of countless ages.’  The dust he picked up as he walked, lived, and experienced this world. It's the same with memory dust. The past we collect on the way to living our lives. If a person could scoop up all their memories and spread them out on a table—oh my goodness—the story it would tell.

 

The book, Mercy Me, is that story. An account of my dusty memories. Some of it truths, some of it embellished. But a lot of it is the back story that describes who I am. Quirky, crazy, funny, and sometimes sad. 

May there always be a little bit of Mercy in all of us.💖
