<center>the fickle mind


as New as New is

i knew it wouldn't last

just as New always knew

without Familiarity

there would be no

one who knew

New and Familiarity

shared their happiness



o! fickle mind running to and from

searching for what it does

thinking this

asking that

wondering itself

questioning others

whose minds run

incessantly

for the sake of

re-New-ing a Now

that has No Mind

to know no New

as New cannot

be Now any longer

than Now always is:



never new

never familiar

never old

never stranger

Now forever

forever Now

no mind to ask

the question How?



no need to know

what mind demands

stricken of time

without any hands

time just was

what time allowed

but Now has no limits

to limit it's Now

unlike Familiar

and unlike New

Now is Now

that's all

Now do

Are we now here?
Here now we are?
Now are we here?
Here are we now?
We are now here?
Here now are we?
Now we are here?
Here we are now?
We here are now?
Now we here are?

Here we are now.
Now we are here.
We are here now.
Here now we are.

Peace,
Barry

from what or whence did matter and light come?
what lies beyond the edge of a careening universe?
do we see many million-billions ago in the night sky?
stars long since expired? phantom flicker and waver?
or do we see, simply, now?
now?

nice wordplay, Cec. reminded me of that discussion about black holes and time-space and such on Beth's board.

Thx, Barry, for stopping in.

Hi, Mark... another one from the vaults that seemed it would appreciate a little fresh air.

Now is a good time. Ever hear that one..? Now is a good time to blah, blah, blah. But that now was then by the time we attempt to do something about that good time. Now is the only time we have, eh?

Now get that book goin', buddy!

Thx.

Now get that book goin', buddy!

I'm on it. Hit some snags, but it won't be long now...

kewl.. lookin' forward to it.
