Tonight, post yoga, I was en route to our favorite restaurant to pick up our take out order.

Quite literally, when I looked in the rear view mirror, I was blinded by the sun light.

That one ray of light was shining so intensely and at just the right angle in my mirror, that there was no point in using it. I shifted the placement of the mirror so I didn’t catch any further reflections out of the corner of my eye.

I thought about how symbolic that sun in my mirror was. What a reflection of life it was, really.

And that if I can stop looking behind me to see all those ghosts from the past, if I can just leave what was with what was, I’ll be truly moving forward.

No longer hindered by anything catching my eye and pulling me back in.

It’s this single minded focus towards what’s ahead that is relevant and important. Not what came before. The light will always cancel out the dark.
