It’s usual to look into the past to try to understand where we are today. We tease out episodes and give them special significance. Together they build up a narrative that explains why things came to be the way they are. But the past can be treacherous and mirror-like, both entrancing and paralyzing: by the time we've worked out what today means it’s already tomorrow and we need to start again, so we’re always one step behind. It may be healthier to accept the present as much as possible and spend more time examining instead the dream or dreams that guide us - where they come from, where they lead to - to try to identify the invisible vector lines we advance along.
