What lies behind us? What lies before us? More importantly, what lies within us?

A few years ago, I found myself walking — or “ambling” — along the lush New England path that Thoreau and Emerson traversed between Emerson’s house and Walden Pond. I treasure the memory of that day, happily living in the moment and taking some time to think about my own resilience and inner strength.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
