Truth Spoke To Me

These words I heard
they seemed wise to me.
I stopped and I listened
as truth spoke to me.
It said...
"Don't live in the past
or you won't go very far.
Don't make it your burden.
But carry the scar.
For it is the past that
has made us who we are."

(big hugggssssss) Oh James, this is so very true, it is best just to look back for just a moment and learn from our mistakes in the past, then embrace the future with the new loving heart we have gained after facing the obstacles from before! (sigh) Such wonderful advice fills your words, sweet friend, this is wonderful! We all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet James, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

James:  The past teaches us many things.  Some are very hurtful, but we do learn from our mistakes (or some of us do).  One thing that is very important - leave the past in the past and look forward to the future.  Enjoyed your beautiful words.
