regret
Regret is the shadow of longing
and when it is cast on the now,
for a moment,
light is lost
And if we dwell in regret
the shadows lengthen
until
our passing moments
are dulled
The essence of regret,
the shadow of desire,
ours to transform
in the moment
into intention and life.

Photo note: I regret that I wasn't at Giverny when I took this picture. I regret that the damn blue heron moved before I could ride my bike around the bushes to get an unobstructed shot.
