Today Equates Future

When times slip through your fingers and the seconds pass without grateful thinking, the "god" of time likes to send a little reminder that its time you'll never get back.

Moments pass and sometimes we all become confused. There's no true or concise answer that has ever been depicted on our daily movement. So then what? They say live today like it's your last, yet they always tell us to prepare for the future. It's a double whet sword and I don't know how to dice the apple. We turn to metaphysical things for validation and belonging, but who or what are they to say the meaning of belonging truly is. However, if I've come to learn just a little something about this metaphysical meaning, its freedom and choice. There's an apparent freedom to decide what we wish and want. But time doesn't wait for us to decide. The moon still rises, and the sun still sets with every passing day just like the day before.


These future moments of past contemplation arrive and it is then we decide. We decide what we want and hopefully it will all turn out for the best. So I'll live in today's time with the hope of a future that just maybe it won't be lived in vain. That a legacy can live on from my minuscule breathe and that my generations beyond can stand proud. How does that saying go? "Every saint has a past, every sinner has a future." We can take the day of yesterday and learn. Make that one change for that day constant and consistent for everyday thereafter. And in the day's passing we will come to shape the future days.


And while we linger in that hope; tomorrow will be brighter, better, and more bountiful than the past moons have ever witnessed. So I make the choice of changing today with the hope that my change will only be in the betterment of my generation's future. That these constant, consistent changes will become habitual characteristics of an aloofly proud entity of the universe. And in the woeful depiction of future seconds slipping away, its in those ticking seconds that hold our futuristic truth.
