Rear View Mirrors would we rearrange shadows cast if we could step into our past go a different path than the one shone or leave well enough alone footprints in cement hardened sand so strange there are things I’d like to change large and small in histories events lived another way than what was spent too many things held my wings in fetter wish I had fought my battles better I would have voiced my soul much more had I have know what was in store I wish what I know now I could have known then but rear view mirrors only show where you have been "Pour yourself thick, when it is you, that you spread." |

but rear view mirrors only show where you have been What an interesting piece of reflection you’ve written Helen. I must admit, if I could walk back into my past, yes there are things I would change. To be able to go back, and know what I know now….some things would definitely be different. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

This is a deeply profound work and one of your very best! Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

  (sigh) This is so very true, sweet friend, it always helps to look back every now and then without blosing ourselves in it so we can understand where we have come and embrace the future with new wisdom! (kiss on cheek) This is excellent, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |
