If you could hit rewind
Would you go back in time
Find a different path
Make a different decision
Wouldn’t it be great if we had that control
To know what path leads us where
To know where it is safe to step
To know where the cracks are hidden
To see ahead
To know where happiness is
You cannot change the choices you made
And you cannot change what others have done
Still we continue forward
Still we walk our path toward fate
Yes, we have different ways ahead and we cannot go back in the same way we have come. If we could, it would not be good.

Sometimes poetry manages to capture even our smallest regrets.

Regrets for the ever branching past are inevitable. I take solace in this, the many words theory of multiple realities is the prevailing theory of string theory, quantum and high energy physics. I know, nerdy right? So each decision you have made has resulted in a a new reality where the you of that different choice is living. Other you’s wondering about the path not taken. I find something immensely comforting in that. That separated by the thinnest, tiniest of reality, we are all on this journey together with our selves of the differing choice.
