We Can't Go Back
...though I’m sure we’ll try.
We can’t go back. The illusions we held in that precious old vase now shattered on the ground have scattered everywhere. There will be blame. There will be denial. There will be darkness and dismissal. But there will be no way to put Humpty-Dumpty back together again. So long as profit is the only basis for life and living, suffering will reign. Yet a new day dawns, filled with possibility provided we don’t retreat to where this all began. Ask Elizabeth Taylor. Ask Richard Burton. They each married five or more times. We can all chase, but never go back again.
