Flow With The River Tanka.

Goldfinch60



When your river flows

It flows into the future,

Your past’s behind you.

Never look back in your life,

Move on into your future.

    So true Andy looking back can lead you to not see oncoming rapids or water falls that need to be avoided.

              This is some really good advice. The past can haunt people obsessively. You are right. We should always try and look to the future unless there is a lesson to learn from the past. Then we apply what we learnt. But dwelling on the past can be unhealthy. Great job.

                Most kind and much appreciated RSM0812.
