Christopher Hansard:[ Getting Caught in the Past]

The past can be a minefield for everyone, full of regrets, unfulfilled dreams,

like the sound of a piano through a rain fall,

the past hangs around in the corners of our lives

unless we make the choice to learn the lessons and let it go,

essentially the past is a mirage and like all mirages,

in this world of illusion it can have great consequence

upon our daily life, psychology, emotions and spiritual development,

all crucial in transforming the psyche.

Getting caught up in the past is like believing in rumours and gossip and not trusting your own experience.

The past when it starts to become viewed in this way  becomes a place of poverty and isolation.

Let the past go, take the lessons and move on.

Do not get caught up in the moment for that to is a fallacy, do not try and force the future,

for you have so many futures that forcing it can cause the  future to shatter.

Only be with what ‘is,’ that is not caught up in past,

the moment, the now or the future,

the ‘Is’ that dwells with in you ,

beyond the everyday mind or the rantings of the world.
