"Pass up the past.." [ 11 | 16 | 2009 ]

Take me back to the tree in the park where I always sat in the dark, waiting for life to shake me by the shoulders; wishing I was older, wiser, and bolder.

I thought I had a handle on things, and I thought I had learned everything about being strong and making sense. But I got trampled on, and went through hell and back in exchange for a learning experience.

Sometimes I take perspective for granted, but in reality's face, I was never too far away to be saved, and neither are you.

Hope is here. And change isn't always clear, but it's worth it to live with failure as a stepping stone and pass up the past. It reminds me of plants that die and flourish again. It reminds me of inexplicable peace in a world of sin. It takes me back to redemption.

Because it's never too late;

Never too far away.

- Michael Stephen
