what is more important -
the past, or the future?
what has taken place,
or what has yet to occur?
on the one hand,
the past is magical -
a point of comparison
we try to live up to.
but the future,
that is unknown to all.
life can change in minutes
and it inevitably will.
a sudden death in the family,
or results from a pregnancy test.
a phone call from an old friend,
or a life-shattering accident.
the past we have no control of,
it is hieroglyphics in stone,
only to be interpreted
by people of the future.
and what of the future -
that amorphous creature?
it is all of ours to create
and then forget and call the past.

what is most important is the present moment: now. it is in the "now" that our thoughts create what happens to us. 'thoughts' manifested define our past; 'thoughts' premeditated and acted out define our present moment. in my opinion no one can predict or define our future. even though some people say the behavior we exhibit in the past can be a good indicator of what our future behavior might look like, life is fluid and people / circumstances do and can change. nothing is a "done deal". human beings are very adaptable, flexible, unpredictable, etc.
