We may through with the past, but the past is not through with us

The past is never ended; it isn’t even past. – William Faulkner

Magnolia - Donnie Smith "I'm sick and I'm in love."

And there is the account of the hanging of three men, and a scuba diver, and a suicide. There are stories of coincidence and chance, of intersections and strange things told, and which is which and who only knows? And we generally say, "Well, if that was in a movie, I wouldn't believe it." Someone's so-and-so met someone else's so-and-so and so on. And it is in the humble opinion of this narrator that strange things happen all the time. And so it goes, and so it goes. And the book says, "We may be through with the past, but the past ain't through with us."

Remembory

Memory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose. - Kevin Arnold

Your picture is still on my wall, on my wall
The colors are bright, bright as ever
Red is strong and blue is pure
Some things last a long time
Some things last a long time

Your picture is still on my wall, on my wall
I think about you often, often
I won't forget all the things we did
Some things last a long time
Some things last a long time

It's funny, but it's true
And it's true, but it's not funny
Time comes and goes
All of the while, I still think about you
Some things last a long time

Your picture is still on my wall, on my wall
The colors are bright, bright as ever
the things we did i can´t forget
Some things last a lifetime
Some things last a lifetime
Some things last a lifetime

Sometimes you put walls up not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down. – Anonymous

 

The past is not done with us

When unresolved issues are writing our life story, we are not our own autobiographers; we are merely recorders of how the past continues, often without our awareness, to intrude upon our present experience and shape our future directions. – Daniel Siegel, MD

We truck in the real

What is, is, and what might have been could never have existed. - Edward St. John Gorey

 

 

 

Life, Love lie outside the confines of the turmoil in your head

Let go. Why do you cling to pain? There is nothing you can do about the wrongs of yesterday. It is not yours to judge. Why hold on to the very thing which keeps you from hope and love?
-- Leo Buscaglia

 

Forgive ourselves our recent (and ancient) past

Forgiveness is the release of all hope for a better past. – Alexa Young
