The Past

April 23rd, 2016

We must recognize, acknowledge, and accept our past for what it is. We can learn much from our past. The past does not mean bad – it just means what has already happened. The roots of our being are in our past. Yet, a tree does not look the same as its roots – nor should your life look the same and the foundation you have built it upon. It needs to look like you. A tree is ever growing towards the sun from the ground in which it came – we are much like that. We are ever growing towards the light that nourishes our soul; changing direction when we must and resting when it is necessary. We are like trees, we are meant to grow.
