I smell the smoke and feel the heat of the bridges burning behind me. Perhaps I should have waited and gave myself more distance from my tried and true past. After all, it is these very bridges that have kept me in life for many years now. Can one really ever justify moving on when nothing is wrong with the here and now? Is it fair to your past when all that was, is what has made you the person that you are? Yet, all that was, is the source of the driving force that is urging you to move on.
The list of those who came before me is long. It is with the greatest of respect for them and their accomplishments that I build on their achievements and learn from the expense and fallout of their errors. To do nothing with what they have given me would be to provoke evolutionary suicide. It is never finished. There must always be the next "what if" or "what were they thinking". Restless and inquisitive souls are some of the least understood and most criticized but yet they are the very souls that are needed to keep learning and evolution alive.
