hallows

"to make holy or sacred, to sanctify or consecrate, to venerate"-Wikipedia

I looked up the meaning of hallows because I am really excited for the last book of J.K. Rowlings Harry Potter. It was announced Feb 1 that the release would be on July 21st.

Recently, I've been thinking about our past lives. How sometimes these memories though in the past, seem to be still alive in us when we remember them. This morning I was struck again by the idea. As if some part of our lives are there in a horcrux. A poem, a song or a place seems to still hold those memories. These tangible and intangible object represents some sentimental value. Why do certain waterfalls and mountains remind us certain part of our lives?

Anyway, I really cannot wait for the last book in the series.
