I agree with Falkner's statement that, "the past isn't dead, it isn't even past." Though time never stops and present is continually becoming past, I believe that your past is always a part of you. Some of my closest family members live seven hours away in North Carolina. As I wait for time to pass so that I can be with them again, I use our past experiences together to look forward to my future events with them. This keeps our relationships strong and creates the sense that we never left each other. We can always pick up right where we left off. Though each day provides me with a fresh start and new adventures, my past is what motivates me and gives me wisdom. I can both learn from my past mistakes and find comfort in my past joys. I think that whether we realize it or not, the past never dies and always effects our present.

Kyrie is a Greek translation of "Lord" which is a common name for an important Christian liturgy prayer. This is one of the most often repeated words in ritual. Kyria means "honored woman" in Greek. This is the feminine form of the word, kyrie. It can also be translated as "chosen lady". Both these words are seen in the original language of the Bible. []
