All We Have


Nature mimics nature.
Imitation creates patterns.
Patterns lead to assumptions.
Assumptions birth expectations.
Expectations project a future.
The future is created now.
Now is all we have.

    Just About Now

    The tribe that had no
    Future tense lived without plans,
    Took crops where they grew,
    Slew whatever chanced their way,
    And saw nothing in shadow.

    What was named one day
    Disappeared the next, but they
    Never knew, for each
    Day was always the same, and
    No one thought to keep records.

    Each birth was new, and
    Each death was without wonder;
    Fortune meant nothing.
    “Same old, same old,” they would say –
    They who thought just about now.
