What time is it?

Jul 08, 2005 13:12

What time is it? At what point does the time that is now become then, and time that will be briefly pass through now and soon become clustered with the rest of the previous moments of the past. When does the present occur? It seems that the present keeps slipping into our memories, and if you blink twice you missed what was now, and what was now became then and you where too sleepy eyed to realize what you missed. The future, the present, and the past are the three stages of being. The past is memory and can easily be distorted or changed. The future hasn’t happened yet so it can change even more so then the past can, but it also can act as fast approaching object when you find yourself riding the wave of the present into the future. The present stands as the ever-moving middleman. If at any point time where to stop then you could live in the present, but since clocks continue to tick, and sweep through what is now, and what will become then, you can’t rest in the present. The present stays at a constant speed moving forward. Forward into what is the future.
Some people get so dizzy eyed in light of the future they forget about being in the present. Some people are so caught up in what has happened that they don’t allow anything else to arrive in the future. At any given point you can be any of these people, and at any given point you are and then you were. You are there, then you were here.
I find myself wondering where am I?
