In Ready the Astronaut, William Fitzsimmons sings about how when Icarus fell to his untimely death, it was a lesson for generations to understand the dangers of denying reality; of "ascensionism:" the belief that our futures are not influenced or dictated by our pasts. But the reality is that our pasts are always with us. The people who have loved us, and whom we have loved; the hurts and angers and resentments and traumas. They may not need define us, but they are with us, and, in forgetting them, we are doomed, like Icarus, to reach for the sun only to fall into the sea.
