when
you
find
yourself
looking
back
, gnashing
your
teeth
, churning
your
guts
,
catch
yourself
in
mid-flight.
come
back
to
the
present
.
look
around
.
see
the
trees
.
the
sky

listen
to
the
rain

that
old
adage '
be
here
now'

that's
more
than
eighty
years
of
wisdom
,

everything
that's
in
their
heart
so
you
can
learn
how
to
be
a
better
custodian
of
your
own
.
