I've been thinking about the state of my memory this past weekend. Sometimes it's photographic: I can recall conversations verbatim, I can remember what I wrote or read and where to find it, or instructions, but other times I can't recall without effort what I did the day before. And it's always strenuous for me to go back through the day if I ever do an evening inventory of how my spiritual work went.
And I think I realized why I have this discrepancy - it's because when something is finished, or has been completed, it loses its significance, and I subconsciously do not want to take up "storage" in my brain.
This is just something that I am contemplating, because I don't like looking inconsistent, especially when having integrity is a vital characteristic for spiritual, or for any, leaders.
