Raven 180: Wise Counsel

180 of 183

We remember "great ones of the past" for our own purposes, not for theirs. We do not understand their deeds, but rather imagine ourselves doing them.
As for forgetting yourself: safety first!
Reality is made of nothing but gratitude and compassion.

Case

Mole continued pressing Raven. “How would you like to be remembered?”
Raven said, “If you can forget yourself even once, then I can be forgotten.”
Mole said, “I learned with my mother’s milk that if I forget myself even once, something will consume me.”
Raven said, “Wise counsel. Wise counsel.”
