Continued review of the past
Is like finding a dinosaur bone in an
Excavation site; you can see the bone
You can label it and classify it,
And say yes, there were dinosaurs here.
But you do not take the bone
And make it your life,
You do not attempt to bring
The dinosaurs back to life,
You do not attempt to live
In the time of dinosaurs again.
What has happened is extinct,
It does not need further review
After one or a few passes,
From different stages of maturity.
After that it is simply returning
To the same site to dig for the thing
That has already been discovered.
Much better to archive that discovery
In a museum where it can rest peacefully
And you can get on with your life,
To new experiences and new understandings.
