You speak of a time of conflict, Tony, a time when man killed man under the guise of war...

this would have to be a little more explicit in detail, about the times when people/children and all innocents suffered in the name of religious fanatacism or by simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I pray God that a lesson is learned at some point and we can be seen to have had something 'worthwhile' to pass on , Zy

Yes, Sacha, memories take up no space at all, but can give an overall view of what s gone by,

there's little I'd want to pass on to others beyond personal experiences.

It's been a strange time of tragedy and darker happenings, thanks for reading, Mum x

Yes, Les, wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to pass on one's memories? I've often thought along those lines, especially when I see myself as others must, a grey haired (?) old man, generally looking a bit nondescript, a bit vague, shabby even. If only those people could experience the wonder of my memories, of people, sights I've seen, things I've done during my long years, places I've been to all over the world.

Just an empty tin for memories Les, you're right, don't open it for all the other stuff! An interesting approach to Tony's challenge,

Exactly my meaning, David,  the good things don't need to take up space, 

and could be priceless in the art of recall.

What value love and friendship, thanks, Les
