From the Shadowlands Tarot, the Six of Cups; from the Brownie Wisdom deck, "Early Train:"
Memories are the key not to the past, but to the future.
―Corrie ten Boom
George Foreman once said that learning to enjoy today has two benefits, it gives us happiness now and becomes a good memory later. Ten Boom suggests the important part our memories can play beyond nostalgia - by being a key to our future. I find that as I age, it seems easier to slip into blue funks. Memories of good times past remind me how to move forward: gathering with friends, visiting family, or taking a risk and opening my heart to someone new. The Brownie card warns us not to procrastinate when we get into such a state. We need to use the keys we have to open new doors.
