hi Alpho,

always love those "live for the now" posts...now, of course I am going to feed off of your post and add my own $1.00 (due to inflation, gas increase, and who knows what they'll cost tomorrow, but am not going to worry about that, NOW LOL)

I've been thinking about the yesterday, today, tomorrow thing a lot in the past few years; been reading the western literatures and eastern literatures and now back to the western literatures...

for me, yesterday is about lessons, lessons that I have learnt and hopefully will not make those mistakes again, and if the lessons were good, hopefully I will keep on taking it with me and apply it for today and tomorrow.

tomorrow, for me is not something to worry about or look forward to but to have a sense of where that road might take me. It is not where I am standing right now, but it is where I see myself walking to.

I think we all do that except that we really beat ourselves up for our mistakes from the yesterdays and we look too much beyond what we can see of the tomorrows.

For example, if I can only see 50 yards ahead, I can only see 50 yards ahead, there is no point in trying to see 100 yards ahead for I am not psychic...more psychedelic...LOL

in quantum physics, a quark is never here nor never there. Meaning as soon as it is here, it is gone again. And quark is the basis of all matters (so far, that's what they've found). That makes sense when we apply a numerical system to it.

Between 0 and 1, we can fit infinitive numbers between them. But we know that .5, is in the middle. I guess I need to live .5 in my life.

Both the eastern phil and the western phil have pegged life as 0 and 1 as indicated by life and death, yin and yang, and in computer world, they do that as I-O

I = On
O= off

and inbtween them, they are set off by all the I-O combinations...

I know, I just lost you and many others...but I have been thinking about this a lot and it makes sense to me...

to me, that is part of what God represents if I have to say that I believe in a God. God is I-O (alpho and omego) ;God is life and death; God is beginning and the end; God is order and chaos; God is getting it and not getting it.

After all, God IS everything. Love/Hate; life/death; yes/no.

hmmmmm God might be a woman....LMAO.......................

but inbetween those, God gave us a choice...the now...

I don't have a specific religion and I can put "God" with currently. I like them all, and I also don't like them all at the same time. (I just did an I-O. LOL)

But I believe that for all folks, for whatever their "religion" or "faith" takes them, whatever makes them good folks. That IS what I believe in..and I think that IS the now...well, at least for me...

I read Gilgamesh many years ago....have been reading it again recently...

the oldest "novel" ever written, it's taught me how smart the ancients were and still are...seems like they have found the answers already...

I won't bore you or anyone with the details of Gilgamesh...LOL

Anyways, I was just going to say that I really loved this post but then as always, I went over my head...
