REFLECTING ON DAYS OF FUTURE PAST
 

Is a collection of biographical memories of the past. The following personal words are inspired by a poem titled REFLECTION.

“I should have known!” He thought, reflecting on the future past.

A future now determined by past deeds and decisions, a future no longer a targeted destiny. Not worrying about the future, and staying in the current can be healthy, but it is like running a race wearing blinkers. Only focused on the destiny, inflexible, blinded from the surrounding journey, or the fading memories quickly moving into a forgotten past. With the future coming increasingly faster, reflecting on the future past, is it worth remembering?

The current doesn’t consider versions of oneself, a version influenced in childhood by important people, spirits that nurtured and cared for his early years, by events that carved and caused early impressions, from phobias to dreams, holding onto unrealistic ambitions.

Staying current, staying healthy, they say.

Was it the soup of his DNA, his natural characteristics combined with infantile influences that chartered the course, the journey, his destiny, his fate, his choices. How much choice and individuality did he bring to his life? He reflected on his future past.

The older version of himself looking back through upgrades and downgrades of his younger versions, his journey was never straightforward, but what does it teach us, he thought – reflecting on the future past.

Staying current is only healthy when you decide to block out the reflections of future past, the older wise version critiquing, creaking with old age, with a biased view of the future past.

“I should have known!” needs to be rewritten. “I did, I do, and don’t regret.”

The older current version of self, having the last words in reflecting on the future past.

You're Never Too Old To Start Writing

In 2020 I was an 89 year old retired trial lawyer with not much to do with my time. During a covid isolation, my wife said "Why don't you write a book? You were always good at legal briefs." "What would I write about?" I said. "Make up a story," she replied. I told her writing law and writing fiction were totally different skills, and it was ridiculous to think I could write a novel.I thought about it for a couple of days and then decided to give it a try. I wrote down a few words on paper, then a few more and soon I had a page. I took the page to my desk computer and entered the writing on Word. It didn't look right, so I started editing the page—and that was it. I was hooked. In four mon...
