The Remembering is the story of one ordinary life, lived with growing awareness. Mark D. Flores takes you on a journey from a childhood in the Philippines to a new life in Australia — through career setbacks, a conscious marriage, the humbling classroom of parenthood, and the quiet daily practice of showing up more fully in every role he inhabits.
Because the most useful stories are rarely the extraordinary ones. They are the ones that look like yours — the relationships that tested you, the career that didn't go to plan, the parenting moments that revealed who you really are, and the quiet daily practice of trying to show up better than you did yesterday.
This is not a self-help manual.
No ten-step programs. No guru wisdom handed down from a pedestal. Just one human being's honest account of what it looks like to live — and keep choosing to live — more consciously.
Philosophy woven into lived experience in a way that feels less like instruction and more like recognition. The kind that makes you think — yes. I knew that. I just needed to hear it again.
If you've ever felt like you don't quite fit the mould, like the life you're living could be lived with more intention, or like the answers you've been searching for were somehow already within you — this book was written for you.
Not discovering something new.
Returning to something true.
While writing the book, the belief at its centre — that we're all one — found its way into a song. "The Remembering" was released on 22 December 2025.
A Filipino-Australian entrepreneur, musician, marketing strategist, and conscious parent based in Sydney, Australia. He is the co-founder of Kimlligraphy, a nationwide calligraphy agency working with some of the world's leading brands. He is also a homeschooling dad, and a recording artist with music available on Spotify.
The Remembering is his first book — not written to be remembered, but to make a difference.
He hopes these stories and this invitation to live more consciously will continue to find the people who need them, long after he is gone.
