After we took a look at Wikipedia‘s entry about Memorial Day, we realized that, for us and many folks, the day has come to mean “the beginning of summer” rather than a remembrance of people who had died fighting in wars. We imagined losing someone we love that way and got a different view of the day.

We wondered: what do you wish a person on Memorial Day? Happy Memorial Day doesn’t seem quite right. So we’ve posted this video by Tara Mann called Life’s Journey. I agree.

You can see more of Mann’s work on Vimeo.

BTW: The quote is by George Carlin.
