The tale of time.

What are you doing now? You are here reading my post. What's going on?

You may not see, but many many things are going on. You have clothes you have hand picked for the day. You are in a situation that no one has EVER been before, ever. Your nails and hair are a certain length, your day has played out in a certain way. Many things have added up to produce this moment.

Guess what? One day, all of this will have been forgotten. You won't remember any of these little details. You will have forgotten that you have read my message. The present moment will have simply been erased all together from your memory.

I too will one day have forgotten the many small details that brought me here to write this post.

All fades with time. All of the present moment will evolve into being a memory, ever distant with time, until it becomes nothing at all.

And you will have forgotten this and that.

Looking from the future, all the things in your life now are as good as gone. You have lost them all. All that you see now is no more. It doesn't exist anymore. It is nothing.

One day, all this will merely be something that you will not even remember you have forgotten.

Isn't it nostalgic to look at the present moment? Isn't the present moment special? You are looking at something that doesn't exist. You have retrieved that which has been long lost!

So contemplate the present moment. You have lost it all already. But you have been given a second chance. A chance to look at everything one more time. A chance to remember what you have forgotten! It feels good to have... this, again. It is back, even if it is just for a short amount of time.

The only thing we really have... is time.
