Author profile of - John Rutherford on Lit Linc

It has always been a passion of mine to write. This is the right time in my life to sit down and pick up the pen. After years of traveling like a gypsy around this beautiful planet we all have the privilege to experience each day, I started to write and publish children’s stories, mythical stories, stories that are inspired by poems, Chicken Soup stories, and stories from my adventurous past. It’s time in my life to be creative, and to use my imagination. I hope you find some pleasure in my scribblings, and dear readers, thank you for your time. Kindly provide your feedback. With the first step taken, like a lot of my life, I don’t have any idea where the journey will take me.

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.

Standby Travel - is a story about a novice traveler, taking his first steps into another world. The world of air travel in the far away days on the early 1970's. A world 50 years ago, when intercontinental air transportation was just beginning to shape itself for the famous slogan to come "Everyone can travel"

It is a personal account, a personal prospective, a personal experience, of a novice traveler entering another world. The bigger world, the world of travel, the doors opening on new culture, and all the new sensory experiences that are the mystery and adventure of the world of travel.

First in the series of Reflecting on days of future past.
