A beautiful painting in words.

All the lives we don't live in contrast to the life our choices and circumstances have manifested in this moment makes me feel a frightened awe akin to when considering the infinity of space.

Well said! I couldn't agree more. I often forget just how infinite the universe of possibilities are. There is both a haunting and re-assuring beauty to it all. Such is the duality of existence I suppose!

What fabulous prose... I’m reminded of a line from a kid’s film/book that I’ve always loved - The Last Unicorn - when the unicorn says ‘we do not have regrets, only sorrows...’ for me this shows the acceptance of choice no matter the consequences.

Thanks so much Lynn and I too will be trying to get my hands on The Last Unicorn. Love that quote. It speaks to living in the present too as opposed to wallowing in the waves of past.

Thanks for this - regrets are an unavoidable but necessary part of life.
