Don’t Look Back

Out on the road today
I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head said
“Don’t look back, you can never look back “
— Don Henley, Boys of Summer

Don’t look back… that implies stopping, to look back, and sometimes even try to go back but we can’t go back.
Rather, reflect… hold a mirror in front of us so we can see where we’ve been and glean the lessons that are there to be learned, while we continue to move forward.
Hard fact: we can’t “go back” in this space-time continuum.
Good news: we ARE moving forward!

  1. I can remember when that song came out, way back in the 80’s. It reminded me of a woman I had once knew, and we reunited for a weekend, and the song came on the radio. It was an odd feeling listening to the music that reminded me of someone sitting right next to me.
