Reflection is the bridge between where we have been and where we are going. It asks us to pause, to turn gently toward the past — not to dwell there, but to gather its wisdom. In looking back, patterns reveal themselves, lessons crystallize, and moments of grace stand out from the noise. Reflection transforms memory into guidance, shaping the choices that lie ahead. We cannot rewrite what has been, but we can carry its truth forward, walking into the unknown with greater clarity, courage, and compassion.
