Walking backwards?



Yesterday, I was helping my nephew get his clothes on for an outing. He was clowning around (as he often does) and ventured to walk backwards on the bed and lost his stability as he stepped on a book bringing him down to a sitting position and a rascal smile.
I then told him, "If you're going to walk backwards always make sure you're looking back so that you can see the road behind you and dodge the things that might make you fall." he just laughed and said, "yeah, and usually you only start walking backwards if you're looking back, right?"

Sometimes I look at a fun time I had in the past, a moment, a memory, an insignificant trail of events that tell a story good or bad, sometimes a lesson I've learned but I guess if I want to keep going forward I really have to see where these things make me focus on what has past or on what's to come. And then I guess it helps me get a sound notion as to which direction I'm going. And, if I want to start moving forward, focus on whats ahead, not behind.
