"The past is a place to learn from, not to live in/" - Anonymous

The inspiration for this print comes from two different six-year olds.

One day my six-year old granddaughter saw her parents arguing and  pointing fingers at each other. She listened for a few minutes and then said calmly, "Don't live in the past!"

The other story is about a six-year old child of a friend. Children love to swing things around without being cognizant of the objects or people that may be in their trajectory.

As he was swinging his toy around, by mistake he hit his grandfather. The grandfather explained to him calmly to be more careful before he starts swinging things around.

The next day the grandfather thought he should reinforce the message from the previous day. As the child proceeded to pick up a toy, the grandfather reminded him of the incident of the previous day.

The child wisely said, "That was yesterday. Past is past!"

Instead of living in the present moment, we spend much of our time living either in the memories of the past or living in the imagined future.

Hanging on to the past ruins our present.
