we're all standing on the edge
the edge of who we are going to be
in the future
tomorrow
shouldn't be looking back
shouldn't dwell on who we were
we need to see what's in front of us
away from
the past and all our mistakes
as we stand in that edge
we're like the sinking sun
when it finally sets
old sol leaves everything in darkness
comes back to a brand new day
ahhh . . . we only know
what we've learned
nothing else
some have learned more
than others
but every one must start from there
and go as far as we can beyond
from where we started
mistakes?
lordy yes, we will make them
just because you have made a mistake
doesn't mean
we've been dealt with a catastrophe
get up
dust yourself off
and tackle that which made you
fall . . .
there is a place within our thoughts
a place where we are aware
of our real self
there is another place
much larger than the knowing place
it is a place full
of thing we do not know
that's our objective
to conquer as much of what we don't know
as we assimilate what we don't know
into what we do know
we will arrive at a grand discovery
that .. .
we have walked these same steps
forever

Feels like forever... forever and a day even.

You know, the problem with walking forward while looking backward is you never really see what you're missing. That is unless you bump into it, and that kinda spoils the moment anyway.

Oh absolutely, Michael. Me? I am at a place in my life that I just take it a day at a time. I've been there, done that. Now I just write about it.

Yes...this one has been quite a learning experience. I think I am in college by the difficulty of the lessons.
