Way of a Seeker

I'd like to hear your thoughts on this. I've been thinking about the virtues. Should we, (me specifically), fix issues and problems with others that are products of events in the past or should we begin anew and let the virtues reign from now onward?

My first Altar   The shells represent (temporarily) water or the well The dish of soil and crystal represent (temporarily) the tree And the candles represent fire. I've since added a tall pillar candle along with the tea lights.
