Can You Hear Pastme, Futureme?
Do you ever wonder about the unexpected paths life takes? How sometimes you think back on your past and can’t imagine how you got to your present (and also can’t imagine it being any other way)? I’ve been thinking about this kind of stuff a lot lately, the inexorable progress of time. This leads me to try and imagine what things are going to be like for me in the future…if it’s been so unpredictable thus far, who knows what the future holds.
Here is a visual depiction of what I’m talking about:

I once promised a friend as we sat in a car getting stoned that in the future I’d write about that particular moment in time, which meant that people in the future would be looking at us as we sat there. We laughed and waved at the future-people peering in at us. Ten years later as a newspaper columnist I indulged myself and wrote about the experience in detail, thus completing the literary time-travel loop.
Most excellent! (guitar riff)
