Out with the old

In the silence and sadness of life we stand still and question things all around. What's to come when we recover is like new growth in a Forrest  after a fire has burnt everything away. In both cases the new growth peels away things that no longer have a spot of claim in your life. The slight elements of memories of the old things will let you remember a small portion of what's needed so you don't make the same mistakes.  Take in a breath execute one step each day towards a new you for there is so much awesomeness in you to offer life and those around you. Let the clarity of a new sun light your way.
