My meandering mind meanders.

 

I Passed Myself Today
by
Liz Larrabee
 
 
Today I passed myself
on the way back to my youth.
 
Foolishly retracing
the footsteps of my failures
I braved the muck and mire
of mid-life misadventure
to  avert despair by the experience
of having already been there--
blinded by passion     
when I should have known better.
 
How many wrongs does it take         
finally to see
from a vantage point too late--
Today may be
the best of all possible endings.

I could have written this, but not as well. I have, of late, retraced a lot of my steps. Sometimes sadly, very sadly.

Yep it sure can be a lesson we can't correct.

Don't we all have 20/20 hindsight. But it is good to rearrange our memories so they become more pleasant.

Future: The Spiritual Story of Humanity by Glenn Martin

Histories of the world are generally written to either celebrate technology and science, or to herald doom. My book examines the path of the spirit in the onward rush.
