Nothing's in the past. The Past isn't even in the past. —William Faulkner



For some time now I've been struggling, struggling, struggling with elements of my past. I can look back and see a strand threaded around several people and events in my life all the way back to where that strand is tied to a memory—the ball at the end of my chain. Over the last couple of days I've come to realize that the way to deal with the past is to live in the present. This is waaaaaaay easier said than done. I've know both of these truths for some time, but only recently have they started to make sense. It's been a matter of looking at what's right in front of me instead of registering what's in front of me in relation to what's been on my mind (usually some particular person or event who doesn't below there and never did). I want my mind back and I'm starting to see what this means to me and for that I am very grateful to the powers that be, whatever they may be. It's a struggle but I'm just now starting to see the fruits of the ever-ending labor.

Peace to all--past, present and future
