You Can't Take Back A Regret

Listen to "You Cant Take Back A Regret" on Spreaker. I can't say we're all doing it but I admit I'm addicted. The daily headlines. No matter how much it hurts my soul to see how the world is turning, for some sick reason I keep feeling these ropes pulling me toward the world of news. I lost it when they announced that 700 people passed away just yesterday due to the Coronavirus in the United States. No matter how many times people are told to stay inside and to not get connected to circles of friends and family the importance of this still isn't sinking in. I took my frustration to social media. The trolls instantly gravitated toward me. I made no mention whatsoever about Covid 19 being anything more than a virus. Come on people stay away from each other. Those empowered by conspiracy theories felt they found a new stage. I responded. I regret making such a place open. But you can't take back a regret. This isn't just a Coronavirus thing but in all things we get involved in. We tend to do and say things we eventually regret. You can't take back a regret. In trying to peacefully walk toward a conclusion on the thoughts I posted the goal was to invite the voices on the other side to create a podcast, make a daily blog, grab the camera and make a movie be heard, be seen and be aware of who is receiving. You can't take back a regret. Quickly someone responded, "A movie? You don't want to interview them?" Two words fell onto the computer screen, "No story." Which was my way of saying "I'm not going to enter a moment of the opposite side knowing I'll probably regret it." No story. Grow from that. As the mountain gets taller and the four walls of your home feel more like a cave the inner core of your being is probably feeling that edge of wanting to respond to something. You meditate. you pray. You take walks. You workout. You're eating right. That other side of you is starting to feel less free. No story means don't start the fight. In this place of uncertainty there's no reason to think anyone's gonna win. It's only going to generate a reason to regret. You can't take it back.
