a gentle, if pointless, rant

facing the future
is bad enough:
the ebb and flow
of the unknown
takes all the courage,
bravado, and
bull
that a woman or a man can muster.
but, while we
face the future
we must deal
with the past

John, very well said.

If we are to revel in our future then we must never deny our past.
