Two Paths

I find myself troubled today. My mind is going over and over things that are already past. I am stuck, my mind is stuck, my emotions trapped and my body suffering as a result. My mind is on a circle of thoughts over and over again. What ifs, should haves, could haves, said or done and on and on. This becomes a cyclic behavior that reinforces itself. I am reliving over and over the emotions associated with these experiences. In all of this I am lost to right now.

Before me I see two paths. One path continues this behavior, keeps me stuck. Reinforces my anger, my frustration, my anxiety, by fear, my resentments, keeps me in the past. Supports and nourishes my suffering. I can stay on this path.

There is another path. One of release. One of forgiveness. One of tolerance. One of acceptance. This other path reduces my suffering. This other path nourishes my healing. This other path frees me from the past and allows for growth. This path brings me back to now. Now is where I want to be.
What path will I choose?
Now is what I choose.
