With the approach of the big 50 Anniversary, I ponder about time. (No, I didn’t mean it’s about time I ponder.)
With each tick of a clock we are suddenly thrust from one time to another — from one day to another — one month or one year to another. The past fades quickly into pools of memories and the future stands before us like an unread book. I think wisdom is seeing the past for what it was and the future for what it can become and living the present as a melding of the two, no matter how imperfectly. When I think I am most wise, I am fool of fools. When I am foolish? Only God knows.

They say that we’re all here, because we’re not all there. As a pun it gets a laugh, but as a concept it goes much deeper does it not? So many (self included) have a tendancy to live in the past, or in the future, without much consideration for the life that presents itself right here, right now. This really is the difference between Wisdom and foolsihness. Wish I was nore one than the other ( no wisecracks Jim)…oops there I go again living in the future…
Write more stuff Mom!
