"Going back to yesterday" , by Erik Pevernagie, oil on canvas,, 100 x 80 cm. x

When the past gets its teeth into our daily life, it may get to grips with the present reality and adjust our timeline.

By recognizing ourselves in light of our history, we become aware of what we are.

As it has the quality to transmit skills and knowledge, our personal history is a brilliant coach teaching us how to act and play along with the meanders of life. While it inhabits our living, it becomes our fellow traveler shielding us from slippery slopes and sometimes from ourselves.

Once we get to know where and why the skeletons of the past are buried, we can start wading across our muddled memories into the open plains of a new horizon.

Let us listen to the needs of our inner child that is being tamed and imprisoned by the rules of a grown-up world.

We learned enough lessons the hard way and, thus, have come to understand that we must clearly recognize the things that are either expanding our mental welfare and brightening the paths to creative thinking or the things that are ripping our lives apart.

Carroll suggests in Alice's "Adventures in Wonderland": "It is no use going back to yesterday because I was a different person then."
