I often think when people look in the mirror,
it’s more like the rear view mirror in a car.
They’re always looking at what’s behind them.

(and ALL experiences are PASSED) – everything
that has happened up until now… is behind us.

We are the ones
who carry it forward and in front of us -
wondering why our days seem to resemble
so much of the junk that we’d hoped was behind us.
We’re driving forward -
staring in the rear view mirror;
wondering why we crash so much…
