All his life has he looked away... to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. Humm? What he was doing? Hmph, Yoda said about Luke S.He might as well be saying the same about... the girl in the photo. Her mind is never where it should be. It is always looking to the future, looking for something better, looking for the dreams. This is especially true when things are not running well. When bad things overcome the good things - yes this is possible - and when the need to run away and find something better wins over the strong will to stay. On the other hand, her heart is always looking away into the past. A past that can no longer be the present nor future. But it insists in looking back, not in anger but in longing. Looking at the things it could have done better, only to find out there was nothing it could have done differently. Her mind and heart must learn how to look only to the present. And when that present is not good accept the need to leave. But after making the decision they must learn how to not look back. Learn how to look to the future with patience. The mind needs to be busy so that the heart does not take over the thoughts and emotions. But the mind can not be so busy that it will blind the heart from what it should see. It is a tricky balance. A balance that has to be sought, even if that will take the girl's entire life time.
