The past often has a strangle hold on the present (a weight around our now). A Monoku to contemplate over morning coffee. Congratulations! Brian

Thanks Brian, which in turn if it’s not undone in the present, continues on into our future legacy, cheers David

Yes! I agree with you, present do holds are legacy. Because we are what we accomplished in the past, and what we do today will affect the future! Amazing write!

Hi David past and future do hold our legacies, absolutely true. The past has happened too latE, but the future if we want to, we can change. Hope we will be happy with our choices when we reach the golden gates. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Heya Jennifer somehow I feel like it’s beyond the man in the streets reach, I’m afraid it’s going to take some apocalyptic event before any real changes are made, cheers David

Thank you Sara, but I do fear we are doing too little too late, the legacy is already being sown, it’s a crazy world out there, like a runaway train, cheers David

Thank you Silpika, what we do in this present can destroy our past legacy, whilst simultaneously destroying our future one, cheers David

Hi, David, you are so right. So much going on today that wants to destroy that very aspect. Harry

Thank you Harry, it’s not readily apparent on first read, but our future and past legacies, are indeed what’s at stake in the present, cheers David
