The Only Reason To Look Back

by Joan

If we could know the multitude

of factors that

shaped not only

what we saw, but

the eyes we saw through, we might look

upon it all

with such profound

compassion, our

hearts would stretch beyond all reasons

and we would have

to leave behind

what we once knew.
