The past
Ecclesiastes 11:10
10 Banish emotional stress from your mind.
and put away pain from your body;
for youth and the prime of life are fleeting.
The past seems really vague enough but never really disappears
It does not interfere enough but reminds me where I came from
I praise me for my memory banks as they’re always with me here
As I oft recall in meditation the things in life like the pros and cons
What would really be in store for us if we only recalled the good?
Where would we lead ourselves in the drip of our own noses?
Yes the Lord knew so well that we live more than for daily food
as our jealousies, anger, and greed as such our emotion overdoses
Jan Wienen
