Far

Is the future far away or is it right around the corner, hidden behind the current moment? The future is the time to come. It is at the same time, a compressed form of all the future potentials compressed into one and it is still a time to represent which no clock has ever been made. The clock measures time, time can only be measured in units. How many units exist in total and in multiples of which figure is not known. Do we really need to know that?

We need to know that only if we are attempting to determine where we are in the continuum of time. And we can not determine that. Because we are far and we are close, we know that we are both. And if we are both, we cannot exist as a singular kind of entity. We manifest distance as well as intimacy, we look at ourselves from the outside as well as from the inside.

So we cannot arrive at an answer to our own query. We do not know how far or near we are from our future. The idea is lurking in our heads that the future is not distant but we have to still arrive at the logic to accept the idea. The future if not distant, the word far is nullified and we do not have to stare into the unknown to catch a glimpse the next moment. The word far is a word that speaks of moments and locations, not currently here and we do not know anything that we do not currently experience.

This book is a sieve. We either keep or we give away. What we choose to keep is what we need to align with the idea that dissolves distance away and recognises the future as an element of here and now.
