Warming up the past.

#

I don’t reflect enough. I’m wasting my mental time travel powers. If the past were dishes of food, they would surely be cold now.

In Japanese there is the proverb:

温故知新

It is pronounced “Own-koh-chee-sheen.” The four characters are “warm” “past” “know” “new.” Essentially, it means to understand the new and move forward, one must warm the past. For me, this is the past that I’ve left cold.

In a way, this blog is a way for me to warm up my past.

To look back. To see if there are things to be learned. To see things from where I am. Hidden within the experiences alone are discoveries and insights. That will surely help me for the road ahead.

Like reading a book I’ve once read again. And seeing it all differently again.
