Breath in the Present, Breath out the Past.

Funny to me how things change. People, places, things all of these change. Funny also how they stay exactly the same. I want to look to the future and in some ways I am. In others I feel bound by the past. I try so hard to be present right here and now but it is always influenced by what has come before. I do not know if this is some sort of personal shortcoming or if it is just part of the human condition. Focus on the breath. Breath in. Breath out. Seems like I have a lot more breathing out to do and nothing to breath in.
