Past, Present and Future

 

Miranda stood in sickbay preparing for surgery. “What happened to this day?” she thought. She glanced at Andrea laying on a biobed and quickly turned away. “How did I let this happen?” She continued to gather equipment with a heavy heart. “I was so horrible to Jackson and Trichon. I let my temper get the better of me.” She thought as she picked up a laser scalpel. “I didn’t save enough people, I couldn’t there wasn’t enough time. Or was there? Andrea or Aaron wouldn’t have snapped, they would have save more people, they would have….” Miranda closed her eyes a moment and tried to calm down. “Oh god, how many did we leave over there. Stop it, get it together Miranda, you’re a doctor. You have done this before.” Andrea would be fine and there was nothing more she could have done on the away team. She needed to focus on the matter at hand, saving the man they found in the cargo container. As a child her mother had always yelled, “You are living in the past and looking to the future. Trust the here and now or you will never make it to the future and the past won’t be worth remembering.” That is what Miranda had to do right now trust the present and work.
