Literature Text

On the road of life:
Don't constantly look back, or you will run into something.
Only glance back from time to time,
in the same way you would glance in your rear view mirror while driving,
so that you will see what is coming at you from behind.
Don't look too far ahead, or you will trip over something.
Don't stare at the ground in front of you, or you will miss what is coming at you.
Stop and rest.
Think about where you've been, and where you are going.
Just don't spend too much time on it, or you will never get anywhere.
There is no future in your past.
I despise poetry, mostly because it was forced upon me for a while.
I don't really consider this a poem, just some writing. ;-) (Wink) It sounds kind of spiritual I guess, so that's why I submitted it to this section.

It's the first non-graphical peice of art I've ever submitted. I just felt like writing tonight.

I agree with the sentiment completely, just wish I could act upon it. The last line is particularly intriguing. You should submit more "words". :) (Smile)
