What is the past? Is it real anymore? Does it hide like a child from a parent when he/she has done something wrong? When you bring it up driving,is it present like the roses growing on the side of a public wall? Is it shared like an apple with a friend who has just ate potatoes but wants something sweet. Can the past be in two minds equally at the same time?
Why do we remember the past if it's gone? Does it hold value anymore? Who cares about the past? The past can hurt you if you let it. It can grab you when your walking in a park and make you discouraged about the present. If it upsets you,it laughs like someone watching a video of a person getting scared in a dark hallway. The past can dig a hole for you so deep that it controls sunlight. If the past is hurting you,give it the slip and make it wonder where you are. The present has no past if you want it. Tell your mind to stop thinking about it and it will go away. Stay in the present as much as possible. Watch the road..really watch the road...see the clouds come and go. The future and the past are cousins. They play the same game,a game you can never win. If a person comes before you, he/she is the most important thing in the world. Thinking about next month removes you from the beauty before you. When you realize that beauty,you are free.
That was just awesome to read! Thanks William Goonan! ♥️ 😊
