No Looking Back

I did something a long time ago.

Big deal, at least at the time.

Seemed important.

Still a big deal?  I don’t know.

Today’s mountains don’t know yesterday’s struggles.

Remembering does not help me overcome today.

Today, I have to face what’s ahead. 

No looking back. 

Does remembering help?  Does forgetting help?

Is forgetting just pretending?  Pretending not to remember?

No looking back.

Onward, onward.  There’s too much to do.  No looking back.

Is forgetting just a farce?

I don’t remember.  (O Yes you do.  You’ll never forget).

O God, help me know if I should forget.

If I should, help me know how. 

If I am supposed to remember …

O God, if I am supposed to remember, show me what to do with the memory.

Because I don’t know. 

I don’t know if I am supposed to forget.  I don’t know how.

No looking back.

Onward, onward.  There’s too much to do.  No looking back.

No looking back.
