warning!
attempting to move forwards whilst looking back is dangerous. this action often leads to errors of judgement which cause unnecessary pain to the innocent.
in my personal opinion and i speak with the authority of personal experience ...
far better to sit a while, to wait in the silence with our grief and mourn our loss. time at the cross roads of life is never wasted, time to weep and wail for all that we have left behind. a place where nobody but God will hear us as we shake our fist at the heavens and scream "not fair, not fair!"
we should not tarry in this place of regret too long, i personally find it too easy to grow attached to my own pain. in time i hope to learn that pain is not a place to frequent but a lesson to learn.
yesterday is done, we live here in the now! sooner or later we will glimpse something of beauty ahead of us on the path towards tomorrow. we will once again feel the warmth of the sun and wonder at the colours of our earth home. it is 'the time'. The time to glance backwards one last time as we say goodbye to what was. we will not forget because our memories are the garden bed in which we grow. we will not forget but we should never look back as we carry our precious life lessons into the remainder of our journey.
"Life is not the way it's supposed to be,
it's the way it is.
The way you live it,
is what makes the difference."

I don't know if you wrote this for me, but it certainly helped.
Thanks, Reef. Good friend.
i was thinking of you and then i began to think about myself. so, while i would not wish to be presumptuous, i guess i wrote it for the both of us.
