Those who have had a profound impact on me were those who could see the poetry in their lives and share with others how their past connected the dots to their life’s decisions to pursue their evolving unknown and thus great adventure. It’s never epic in the way we think, but rather a “long walk in the park.” I’m grateful to have met so many teachers who remind me there’s always so much to learn and that making peace with the past can open more futures. Who would’ve thought going back was going forwards?
