This time next year will seem more important than the times we're in now, but that's only because we will have forgotten this Now in favor of that Now.
There can be only one now, and it always seems new.
I grew up in Christian fundamentalism, went to hell, came back, became a Presbyterian then a Buddhist Presbyterian, and now I'm a profane Presbyterian Zen Taoist -- not that I'm into labels or anything. Here's what I've learned so far: The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

Charting the Arbitrary
Klieg lights smear the mist,
Dissolving into fear
That few remember past
Ships in a jar:
Rigging minutely crafted
With toothpicks;
Floating paper hats lifted
On ghostly wicks.
If to connect the dots,
Spans bridge any loss
Into the dark, casting lots
Peel lichen from moss.

Except for those who are trapped in glory of the past.
