  It is so much easier to stay in the past - using those reasons (excuses?) not to live - looking backwards over our shoulders trips us up and steals the present and the future from us - then why do we do it? is it fear of what could happen if we heal and move on - fear that perhaps we will have to live a life that has never before existed and that we fear we may not be able to do ....... if you have never lived how do you learn? who is there to teach you if your parents didn't
  
  When you are laying down in the dust with your eyes filled with tears - what part of you sparks you to stand and walk again - even if it is just to surface dwell through your life?
  
  I have done these things ....not lived..
  then awoke to see this......now i am like a new born babe testing my steps as i pick up the pieces that may be of use and trying to sweep away the parts that drag me back to a past that serves no purpose but to drag me back into the darkness.
  
  I look t the many wonders in the world with fresh eyes - a birds song, a flower glistening with morning dew - the bright light behind the eyes of an elder as they remember happy times or hold a grandchild - I wil never do that - but i will continue my search for growth - as painful as it is for the butterfly to shed its cocoon - i too will learn to fly ♥ love to you all and many blessings...
