This piece exists within the realm of Remaking Histories because it focuses on the act of sitting still and thinking. Despite everything that is going on in this hectic world, it is still important to take time for yourself—to take time to think. Take time to think about your health, as well as the health of others. Take time to think about the world around you and how you might fit into it—how you might change it. Take time to think about the history of this world and think about how far we have come—how far we still have to go. The simple act of just sitting and thinking allows us to conjure ideas that will enable us to “remake history.” It all starts with a thought.
