Reflections on the past
Reflecting on the future,
Janus is the entryway:
Looks backward and forward--
not as a two-faced, but a two sided straight face
(though maybe sometimes with humor . . .
there must be humor!).
I look in the mirror
At what I've done, what I was,
And then at what I might do, might become . . .
resisting hopelessness in frustration
for my shortfalls, as well as long falls . . .
Wearing blinders against distractions
(unless a break is needful),
hopefully not against the Truth,
Helping me to focus on good ends.
I ask myself
What do I want to do?
What do I want to be?
How has what I've done and been
helped or hurt my pursuits?
And how shall I do and be my best?
It's a perspective to ponder every day.
