Forwarding

Tonight we turn the clock forward. Day light saving time.

At least, for once, we can advance time, unlike other occasions when waiting for a test result might seem like an eternity.

From Ulysses we found this timeless advice: “Hold on to the now, the here, through which all future plunges to the past”.

It matters that we exist and move forward to “all future”.

Time waits for no man.

It is neutral and ticks on for Pope and Pimp alike.

I saw a picture of Dustin Hoffman on the cover of the AARP Magazine.

Our “graduate” is now 75 (then Mrs Robinson must be much older).

Time waits for no woman either.

Demi Moore filed for her divorce. On track and trajectory for more, perhaps taking a chapter from Elizabeth Taylor‘s  playbook.

Every so often, we hear about modernity: how the Church has to elect someone with an MBA-equivalent to “run” it, or Congress needs to revise the IRS tax code.

Yes, besides time which is forwarded tonight, we got institutions which also need forwarding.

Since they are not modernized at the same pace, we experience a mis-match in speed of execution.

All future plunges to the past. And we are standing right now, right here as a witness (passive) and a participant (active).

Regardless, day light saving will happen tonight, and in the Fall, we get it back. Hope your choices are well rewarded by then. Wow! I still can’t believe Dustin Hoffman is 75. Let’s fade in the sound track from Mrs Robinson (and the scene of the red convertible driving on highway 101, where our Graduate was going to disrupt a wedding, which waited not for him). ” And here’s to you. Mrs Robinson, Jesus loves you more than you will know, Hey Hey Hey.”
