Find the Light

"You return to that earlier time armed with the present and no matter how dark that world was, you do not leave it unlit. You take your adult self with you. It's not to be a reliving but a rewitnessing." 

- from Warlight by Michael Ondaatje

Ondaatje wrote, "The lost sequence in life, they say, is the thing we already search out." He felt we need to deal with the layered grief of the world as well as pleasure.

In what ways does the past inform your present?

Do you ever wish to remove the ink of the past that blends with you?

Does a learning process move beyond the should, would, or could haves for you?








Explore incidents you would alter.

Find a way to replace situations. Where will you reweave threads or cut strings?

What will you save when you eyewitness the past?

Use imaginative approaches to find the light.
