The wind rustles by me

I smell the weet scent of the potato cart 

Rolling past 

wafting its sweet smell 

And the man screaming at the top of his lungs 

The present is where I am now 

Don't look back

Don't try to go back 

Make things better if you made an erronous step 

Once more challenge yourself to the deep mystery that surrounds us all 

we have a life which we can reset many times 

Each new day is a reset of your life 

Look at the big picture 

Instead of focusing so much on the now 

Life isn't about regretting the past 

It's the now and then that needs to be treasured 

Look into the bright light that shines upon you from the heavens 

Live in the present 

Cause that's what matters most. 


The author's comments:

However many times you make a mistake, you should keep on looking toward the light and live in the present. Brooding in the past doesn't get you anywhere.
