A Pittance of Time

It’s Remembrance Day once again, and I’d like to draw some attention to a certain music video.

Terry Kelly’s A Pittance of Time was released a few years ago, but I still like to look back on it around this time of year. It carries a strong message about Remembrance Day in today’s times—do we all show enough respect on this day? Or throughout this week? Or in our everyday lives?

Yesterday, Sir Winston Churchill High School had their Remembrance Day assembly. The guest speaker was Cpl. Vince Fowler, whose speech really struck home: our freedom today comes from the sacrifice of many, many lives. Do we all take this freedom for granted? I think so (I know I do). Show your respect for the many privileges you enjoy today and take some time to reflect upon that.

In Peace may they rest, lest we forget why they died.
Take a pittance of time.
