Do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and your children’s children.
Deuteronomy 4:9
How easy it is for the things we have seen to be forgotten. In ancient times there was a strong oral tradition. People made a point of passing on knowledge and wisdom. We’ve lost most of that tradition. Unless we keep some kind of record of our lives, our children and our children’s children will know nothing of our heart. That would be a terrible loss.
