Why should I feel ashamed of the past?
Do I need to erase it
As if it were a splash of paint on a blank canvas ?
But the past was a different piece of art.
Less refined .
I have been trained since then. I draw now in detail and beauty.
My work then was not the work of now.
This is a new canvas that I am proud of.
But tomorrow or the day after or next year
I will have again , improved.
So should I then throw this work away ?
How then will I see how far I have come ?
