and therefore a historical perspective,
as well from as having the perspective of imagination -
the realm of the what-might-be
inhabited by futurists and science-fiction writers.

Have the courage to trust that
the beautiful butterflies of your life
will return - or not - as life intends.

All in the dark we grope along,

Before we reach its height.

to put the past in the past where it belongs.
However, sometimes a simple symbolic act can help immeasurably
to grant ourselves freedom from the past.
