Just don't stare.....

Memory is much like an art gallery. You may walk through and enjoy the memories embodied by the paintings on the walls, but you must be sure never to pause and wait there staring. For that is when you realize the faults of the art itself. You see the smeared lines and poor brush strokes which are bad memories and things you wished you'd forgotten. So as long as this beautiful art gallery of recollection is glanced through with expediency and sensitivity, it can be one of the most rewarding experiences and yet in the same token when too much time is spent there it can be so destructive. It is okay to look at the past, just don’t stare.....
