Time

Times goes by so quickly...recently, I have been seeing lots of people in the later stages of life. Some have had the great fortune to come to that point with mind and body intact...some not so lucky. but, in everyone, I see in them a story...a decision made or a series of events that lead them to a place...I think of a Rosanne Cash interview when she was talking about her song called Unseen World where she says : westward leading, still proceeding to the unseen world...- son in other words, we are all heading in the same direction- towards death and ? Anyone who claims to know is full of *dung*...but that's life's big thing, isn't it? What are you going to do with your time while you are here? Are you going to freeload off of other for whatever reason that you have an excuse for? are you going to blame everyone else for your situation?

Are you going to make an endless steam of excuses for your life ring where it is? Are you going to be a victim? or frame yourself as a victim? Are you willing to fabricate excuses and stories to make yourself look good temporarily? Are you going to create and add to other's experience of the world? Are you going to be a positive force not leaving other to carry you? Are you going to create new ideas and things and experiences? Are you going to put the effort into creating your world as you want it? are you going to allow the expression of your unique self that will only be around once (maybe?- or many times? who knows - nobody) to be lost without a peep from you? Are you going to find yourself in the later years of life and be okay with what got you there? Fred always says that he wants to leave this world better than he found it. Even just a smile...

Anyhow-life can change so fast...
