Do you know the story of Orpheus?
He lost his love Eurydice and in his grief visited the Underworld where his beautiful laments melted the heart of even Hades and so he was granted the chance to bring her back from death as long as he didn't look back as he led her away from the land of the shades and back into the light.
But he looked back just once
And she was lost to him for ever.
And sometimes I feel that from eighteen years old I have been the reverse of Orpheus in that I have always looked back and because of that have not lived in full the life that I have had and because I always face towards the past I can never catch a glimpse of the future and what it may bring.
And time is slipping away......
