Skeleton found
"The only place
that the past and future exist
are in the imagination."

This morning I am listening to Deepak Chopera on tape. He was talking about how time does not exist. It is an idea only, there is no way to scientifically prove that time exists. He elaborated more than that. What happened in my mind was that if the only place I can experience the past is in my imagination - Doesn't that give ME ultimate control? - I am the breaks, I am the accelorator, I am the map. I choose which memory lane to stroll down and at which corners to turn.
Perceptual shift: Seeing yourself in the world --> Seeing the world in yourself.
Gotta go to work now, ride called. Leaving early I guess.
Ultimate control.
"There was an extra skeleton found in the grave yard," Myrna said just before she got off the van after bingo. I asked if it had a box or not. She said it didn't. It's thought that it might be the body of a woman who had gone missing long ago. They found her (if it's her) while they were digging the plot for the recently deceased guy, the father of my little brother's ex-girlfriend. Myrna found out from Sam, she attended services today but didn't go to the grave site but instead sat with Sam. She didn't know for certain if the police were involved in the exhumation but thinks they were. I hope the skeleton can be identified, maybe there would be evidence on it to convict someone.
The recent death was disturbing as well. The man has a big family, lots of siblings, but I guess no one checks up on him. He has seizures regularly and the ambulance was called for him quite often. By the time they found him dead they figured he'd been dead for 5-7 days or so. His funeral was today. I'd gone to work and didn't go.
