He’s saying the regret is, we can’t know the presence of those lost to us in this realm through our senses. There can be right next to us, but removed from all time, and so they are beyond our cognizance. A person who is gone from us is not truly gone, they are only beyond our physical senses.

When and how did you first learn about this song that Forrest wrote? Sorry if I missed the details in one of your videos. Kpro I wanted to revive this thread because it is so beautiful. I have plenty of work to do myself, but thanks to Forrest, I believe I see a better path just around the bend. Pretty soon we might all find that things are feeling lighter. And when you have given yourself some grace- when possible, give someone else a hand with their heavy load, too. Living in the present doesn't mean ignoring the past rather, maybe it means to give yourself some grace first. I think he might want us to consider that Longfellow poem. Aren't we all? But I think Forrest believed we are capable of more. I should have taken my own "sage" advice, but I did not. So, I sit here and write this and think about all of the times I could have done this grace thing myself. Afforward? Sorry, I am stricken by irreversible Fennspeak, like any loyal chaser.

It's a collage, a self-portrait in our mind, made of the bits and pieces of our flaws, mistakes, should haves, could haves, and regretful inaction. The song says so much, in typical understated "Forrest style." As usual, it is like he is writing each of us, when he is writing all of us.Īnd, to me, the Longfellow poem says about the Chase what my tribute picture selection could not: many of us live as prisoners of our past.

If your heart has gone a wandering and you’re looking anew, I hope he’s someone you’ve admired whomever he be.Īnd if things are different now and this new love is true, I’ll cry forever in my dreams, my tears as salty as the sea.
