Our choices bring us to the here and now
The paths we took, the decisions we made
Most happen as a natural flow
Shared decisions, or those dictated by our moral compass
But when we look back at the key, vital decisions
These choices set us on a definite road
If we view our personal map
Particularly the intersections of change
A diary of our decisions become clear
Look at the landmarks in time
How would a change in direction have affected?
Where would we be now? What if?
The brain sometimes works like Google maps
Plug in a memory and zoom right in
Change from road maps to street view
See all the intersections, the facades…
Drop into the scene, spin the perspective
It is all there – a snapshot in time
Yet even though we try to view differently
Things are still from our perspective
What we saw, how we heard…
The memory picture we took!
Oh, to be able to go back, see the other side
Would we be receptive?
So many pivotal decisions made quickly
Sometimes in the heat of the moment
Some moments, we need to pile on the justification
Obviously right because of A, B, and C
If we could see as an invested observer
Would we dare look?
