A Step In Time

Most people chart their lives by the measurement of time. Something we look forward to doing in the future. Something we did in the past. We have the concept of Past, Present and Future. It is even represented in jewelry. Companies manufacture a three stone ring to remind us of the times in our lives. In reality there are three levels of time, but I see them a different way. Past, Nano Second and Future. Our pasts are concrete. They hold memories that have happened and cannot be changed. Our future is yet to be. We still have a hand in our destinies. But is there really a present. If there is, it lasts for a fleeting moment in time. By the time a thought is finished, it has already become the past. Decisions that we make, can change our lives, in the blink of an eye. It only takes one second to say words that will have an impact on someones life forever. It only takes one turn of the steering wheel to do long lasting damage. A nano second of bad judgement can lead to a lifetime of "If Only....". I guess when people say to live in the moment, they are correct.
