Truth is just a Lie that hasn't been discovered yet
A heartfelt confession is the ace up a Liar's sleeve One of our greatest contemporary poets, Mr. Adam Duritz, wrote that memories are just films about ghosts. Carefully edited movies starring people we never really were. Since the caveman grunted overblown bear stories by the fire, we’ve struggled to capture the moment. To stop time. To stay precisely there and then when everything was for once, and for always, so very…right. If your life had a rewind button, where would you go? Would it be the way you remember it? Would you be disappointed by the life between the cuts? The stuff you chose not to include in the movie playing in your head? My apologies to Mr. Duritz, but if memories are films about ghosts, then the imagined future is a clumsy re-enactment of things that might never happen. No matter how hard we try, the future never comes….it’s always “right now.” If life had a pause button, would you know when to use it? Would you know this is it, man…these are the cherished, perfect, stainless hours I’ll spend the rest of my life trying to replicate and reclaim? And what do we have if the past is a lie and the future never comes? What’s left of us then? |
