(Last night, I had a brush with the Past)"One must always maintain one's connection to the past and yet ceaselessly pull away from it. To remain in touch with the past requires a love of memory. To remain in touch with the past requires a constant imaginative effort."
- Gaston Bachelard
The past is now part of me, good or bad.
And I would not forsake my past, just because it is sad.

The past is our definition. We may strive, with good reason, to escape it, or to escape what is bad in it, but we will escape it only by adding something better to it.
- Wendell Berry
We cannot escape our past, we can only redefine it by making the recent past sweeter than the past past.
