I scan my past and find nuggets and cold gems of things I didn't see while they were there but now, because I didn't pluck them up and keep them for myself when they happened initially- my history now looks like a glittering treasure.
reliving a lot of deep, far off memories and realizing who I was at different moments in my life and crucial turning points as I grew up. There is beauty in hindsight- even though and maybe because I didn't take things to be valuable or meaningful at the time, it all together makes a meaningful picture of who I am now. The path has not been landmarks for the sake of themselves- I missed those- but from above and beyond I see the road for all that it was and all the twists and turns I took to get here.
