Many moons ago when I was in college studying Physics I became very interested in the concept of "time". Time plays an interesting role in our world, much more so than most understand, especially when we start exploring the relative elements of the universe. Theoretical Physics, and Relativity in particular, was something I was profoundly interested in.
I could probably bore a snail with some of my ramblings on this subject, but I'll keep it light here.
At one point I came upon the notion "a person can never look backwards in time". In as many words; "You can never look back".
Memories of loved ones are fine, but that's not the point. So many dwell on the past, but you can never look back. Life is defined by looking forward in time, not backward.
Somehow, I adopted this mantra. Some might call it spiritual, I don't know.
Indeed history defines the future, and I have no doubt of this, but as a person, a human being, we cannot dwell on the past. We can use history as a guideline, but it is just that...history. The past.
Through all the trails and tribulations of life I have realized I built an entire life on never looking back. Somehow, it has served me. I believe in today and tomorrow, not yesterday. Our future and all our "hope" depends on how we see tomorrow.
I can remember when I used to tell friends this theme, they would say I was misguided, but I never strayed. In time they all came around.
All we have...all we have...is tomorrow. We can never capture yesterday, but in a memory; a story perhaps.
There is only tomorrow.
And...we can never look back, but for a glance to compare our virtues against those who have both succeeded and failed.
I use flying clay discs to build ancient monoliths while progressing backwards across perfection and prove that im the first born every #ing thing. Spaceships cheap as #.
We can never look back.

*The past is history, the future is a mystery, today is a gift ... that's why its called the present*
