I wonder about time and how it goes so fast. One minute you are a child, a teenager and then you are married with children or single with children or divorced with children and you look back and think that your 20's are really and truly a blur. . .
I wonder how time can be so consequential and intertwined with the present and past of itself, like when we look back and in front and at the same time and judge people on past experiences or past behaviors and we regulate people due to future expectations and future desires. . .
know what I mean?
Every day that goes by, is another day towards what? We go on and on and forward and forward and look back and look back and end up where? When it is all said and done, where are we going and why? Days go by and I wonder why. . .
There was a song once by, I can't remember a English lady I think and she said:
"Is that all there is, is that all there is,
If that's all there is, my friend,
Then let's keep dancing,
Let's bring out the booze
and have,
a ball,
If that's all,
there is". . .
I wonder sometimes about this verse and I hear the song in my head often enough because the lyrics are true to reason and sensibility sometimes, don't we all wonder if that is all there is?
Or, do some feel they are on a merry-go-round, just going round and round and round, ever in motion, going no where in particular... because where do we go really and truly? We go to weddings, and to births of children, and to funerals and to graduations and to anniversaries and to bar mitzvahs and to vacation spots and to work and back again and to finally back to where we came from in the very beginning at least for some, or many they say and not so for others, to the place of creation, of settlement, or of certain atonement and then we know
it's time.
