History does not define You

History is the landscape of the past. I had to accept that I exist because of everything happening exactly to the detail in the way it happened prior to me being born. This means that any judgement of that past would lead me to having some kind of attachment to the past in the form of like or dislike. So in order to be present and free from influence from the past I have to let all of it go like a stream of water that passed through my hands. Wisdom is knowing the nature of water and how it flows without getting caught up in where it flowed and whether that was good or bad. This subtlety gets deeper the more we observe the nature of change. In reality we experience freedom more as we learn to cling less to any idea that takes our mind outside the present moment.
