Freezing Moments in Time
Freezing moments in time is all I do anymore. Let me explain. Everyone has moments of memories in their lives that stand out… that resurface when primed by a situation or event that we experience in the present; snippets of events with people or pets that are vivid in our mind’s eye. A flash of the past takes us momentarily back in time to re-experience it. You all know what I mean. It happens to all of us. As we get older, it seems to happen more and more. We are still here while many we have known and loved are gone. The water that has passed under our bridge of life has become an ocean of people, places, pets, and experiences that are all mixed together with happiness, sadness, longing, and grief.
Here we are a million miles From everything In a time of insanity And depravity Watching the world die.
It feels like things are ending, doesn’t it? Madness seems to be rising in every corner of the world. Even science is telling us the end is near. The poles appear to be shifting. Mass extinctions are on the horizon with planetary changes of biblical proportions about to begin.
So I find myself placing extreme value in the time I have left with those I love. It’s like I am trying to freeze every second in the continuum of time and space, so it won’t disappear into the past. I know this is impossible…but I try anyway. So I will continue to freeze my moments until all my moments are gone. Nothing else seems to matter anymore.
I’m also getting older (mid 60s), and have had these experiences of cherished memories popping into my head randomly. Definitely feels like the world is ending.
One of my older sisters, believes we will be living in Heaven on Earth by 2032. I don’t believe I can bear the ever increasing intentional destruction, carnage and human suffering taking place not just in the US, but globally.
Thank God our time is now when wrong
Comes up to face us everywhere,
Never to leave us till we take
The longest stride of soul we ever took.
Affairs are now soul size.
The enterprise
Is exploration into God.
Christopher Fry: "A Sleep of Prisoners" (excerpt)
Doesn't feel like "the world" is ending to me. On the contrary, it feels like we're at the dawn of a new world - it's just the old one that's passing away. And this new world will be marked by a massive shift in human consciousness; by "the "longest stride of soul we ever took" in Fry's memorable words. And the project is "exploration into God." Humanity has to externalise our inner divinity - our capacity to manifest the "divine" attributes of love, altruism, wisdom, compassion, truthfulness, justice etc. - if we are to survive.
I think it is coming - and this is why the "Elites" are so worried, and why they are doing everything in their power to corral us forever into the old materialist mindset, which their entire power and wealth structure depends upon.
