Time Traveler

Do you ever wish you could close your eyes here and open them in your past? Perhaps not to change things, but just to see how events really unfolded. Naw, really, I am talking about a cosmic do-over.

If you could still be you now, but do some of it again, have another crack at it, would you?

If you had spent your life as clueless to the here & now as I did, there'd be no question. I lived a life without a present tense. Maybe it's like George Carlin says, there is no now. There is almost now and there is then. 'About to be' becomes 'was.' 'In a moment' becomes 'the past', and flies by so fast we never really experience now. It keep changes to then.

And, since the cosmic do-over is not an option, why let the here and now continue to chew you up & spit you out?

As the Facebook profiles say, "It's complicated." You know who you are.

(sigh)

Don't let the desire for a cosmic do-over spoil the memories you have.

Oh, let us all abandon the sappy crutch of "I wouldn't change a thing because then I wouldn't be me …"

Bull shit! You'd do it over, too, if you really thought about it.

And YOU would still be YOU.
