Recall

Neville

Recall

 

Looking back then

now ..

Upon what might

well

once have been ..

Is not so

much a pleasant

lifestyle

choice these days ..

But rather

more, I am afraid

to say, an

increasing necessity ..

    You could walk backwards and be able to see those pleasant things of the past in front of you! lol.

        Well, I saw a guy walking backwards one day. I know it - he is practising for The Annual 10km Walking Backwards Race!

        Wot? to look back on what might have been but wasn't....I don't feel that's much fun at all.....unless, it has to be admitted, there are certain situations (no details lest it gives orchi the vapours) where an extension of the reality in my head is simple straightforward and with no complicated aftertaste.

          My goodness me .. would that ever even be possible, perchance .. I am gonna thank you tho' regardless .. and no if's or but's okay .. Neville

          Just another case of the future bumping into the past. πŸ˜‰πŸ‘

            funny how that seems to happen so often .. and may well explain the deja vu phenomenon πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘

                Your poem beautifully reflects on the act of reminiscing. It's a poignant reminder to cherish our memories and reflect on our past. Well said!

                  Your sweet review helps make the effort worthwhile and for that, I thank you Cloie .. Neville

                  We must always move forward Neville, we can do nothing about our past except use our experience to make the future better.

                    Sage advice my little golden wonder .. but sometimes one may need to exercise a little poetic license .. maybe .. πŸ˜‰πŸ’›πŸ‘

                    Memories can be pleasant to visit once in a while, but lingering in the what ifs is not living in the now, where you can be building stronger. I guess that’s not easy when we live in times of such rapid and sometimes unwelcome change. Collisions are often painful. That!s where I drifted to Neville. Have a happy Tuesday my friend.

                    • Neville



                      Don't drift too long Cassie .. I like to think of you at the helm and in full control, but sound advice is never declined & on reflection, as always .. I thank you for it .. and a terrific Tuesday to You .. (there is a metaphor hidden somewh
