What I Know Now

If I knew then …

what I know now …

I would …

[fill in the blank].

Of course we would.

Except, then we knew what we knew,

And, now we know what we know.

More.

Different.

Better.

We give ourselves grace for what we knew and what we did (or didn’t) do.

And, now we carry the wisdom of poet Maya Angelou’s words:

Now that I know better, I do better.

We change because we can. Which makes me curious: what do you know now, and what might you do?
