Don’t look back, you’ll only see
A faint, disappearing reality
Your past may beckon, set it free
Things behind you, let them be
Ahead of you, the future lies
Much to come, a surprise
Look ahead, if you will
But careful not, the present kill
Always in the now you are
Dangling even, from afar
Soon enough, the future comes
Now again, it becomes
Time escapes all of us
In between, we are thus
No matter where you are sent
Try your best, be present

Dan: And therefore, you are (and I am).
Pat: Thanks. Yes it is.
I’m right here, in the past and the future.
And sometimes in the present.
Oh, wait… they’re in me…
Or something like that…
Therefore….
Tough to let go. Definitely necessary.
Floots: Thanks. No, it isn’t easy. Agreed.
i do my best to live in/for all three – past present and future

Thanks Dan. You are so right. Where are you????????
We are never not here, now,
No matter what.
And if we don’t mind,
It doesn’t matter.
And, really, even if we do mind,
It doesn’t matter.
Nonetheless (or all the more),
It does.
