Then and Now

Back in Time; Retroactive was a prompt at a writing conference I attended in 2017. I just found this and thought it was cute. A change of pace from the recent India posts. And maybe newly loaded with more layers of meanings. This could be my “higher self” talking to my mundane self….

How you sounded then,
and how you sound now.

How you walked then,
and how you walk now.

How you looked then,
and how you look now.

But what you know today,
and didn’t know then.

And how you now think,
but wouldn’t back then.

And how you now see,
but couldn’t before.

Oh, how you shine
a different light
now.

An unrelated question: Do you love mushrooms?
