Embrace

Past permanently in pen 
Eternally etched in every
Thread throughout time 

Can be tempting to toss 
Almost all of it away to
Erase any trace of history

Reflecting reminds us that 
We all walked our own path 
Twisting our way to today 

Don’t dismiss our detours
Lean into them to leverage 
The foundation they formed
