the 1 secret that’s the same about all our biggest regrets — & the 1 hope we all get

Fill the cup with steaming warmth,


watch the sun overhead, and it turns out —


it’s all sorta, exactly like this —


exactly what happened on one street, on one day, with a whole bunch of The Busted being unforgettably  and powerfully real:



Yeah, you can sit with all that.


And drink down that mug, moved and undone and put back together  — and it turns out:


You don’t have to believe in regret, 


you don’t have to live in regret —


that would be like living in a boat that only went backwards —


trying to find something that’s been washed away now out to sea.


Turns out that you get to take today and go live at the bow of the boat, and all the waters ahead of you and right now are just like that —


like an ocean as open with beautiful possibility as a clean slate.


 


Count yourself lucky, how happy you must be  —  you get a fresh start,  your slate’s wiped clean. Ps. 32:1 MSG
