When it is not the same as it used to be,
not as strong,
not as promising,
not as rewarding,
not as fulfilling,
not as grand as we had hoped, dreamed, believed, expected.
We, having free will,
may let hope subside,
regress,
disappear all together.
Or
We, having free will,
may restore hope,
restructure,
re-envision,
renew,
drill down for new information and create a new synthesis.
Is it to be forgotten, mitigated, and moved on from?
Is it to be finished, realized, manifested, and learned from?
What you may do is in your heart, soul and mind.
What will serve you well?
What will bring you good?
What will bring you peace?
