I wonder what I would tell this kid if I could go back to 1983 and actually sit down and talk with her. I wonder if she would listen to me, but even more than that I wonder if I would like who I might have become if she did. I do talk to her, and to many of the versions of my Self as they existed within this lifetime; doing so is part of the healing work with which I am engaged.
As for going back - all I have to do is close my eyes.Time is nothing more than a human construct for measuring events that seem like they should matter. The more in tune I become with fully living each moment, experiencing each event, the less relevant the construct of time becomes and the more relevant the event. Eventually time will have no meaning to me, and hold no sway over my existence.
When did I last see your face?
Last hear your voice or your laughter?
When did I last see the roses bloom or drift with the ocean?
It was just now, this moment,
In the room where memory is always present.
There is no need to hurry through or
Hurry on or hurry back.
Doing so negates the value of being
In this moment.
Doing so negates the value of being.
