I Need More Time

Hi Jens, I think that there is something more but I don't rely upon it. I know that right now is real so I figure that we need to make the most of our time today.

Hi Billy, It is indeed the itch that we can't scratch but some of us (me)can't help but try. :)

Hi Bruce, I go back and forth about whether I would want to know when the end is coming. Would the knowledge help me make better use of my time? I don't know. I want to think it will, but maybe it wouldn't. You are right, not knowing does make life interesting.

I like that and I can definitely get behind it. Why shouldn't we continue on.

Hi Hook, We try to do our best without painting ourselves into a corner, right.

Ok, Lori asked for it, so here it is: I can only give you my view, so you, take it with a grain of salt as always. How do you know that you got the message? I like to think of it this way: If you consider that all knowledge in the Universe is stored in a library with tons of different rooms (it's obviously not, but it's a good analogy. Yes. It is.), then your "visitation" happened because you accessed a new room (you accessed a new frequency). Once the door to that room is open, you can generally go back any time you want (you have an easier time finding it again). So, you don't have to hold all the knowledge in your brain, you just have to have access to the room where what you want is at. Then, when you need it, you'll be able to access it. That's a long way of saying: You got the message and when you'll need the info, you'll remember it. I'm actually working on my own post about life after death. This has brought up a lot of thoughts. How do you explain faith? Hmmmm. :) Huge hugs! Melody

Hi Melody, That sounds like a reasonable explanation. I like the idea of having a library on hand. But I am not real fond of being given information that I can almost remember but not quite. It feels a bit like trying to watch someone/something with my peripheral vision. I can see them but not quite with the clarity I want or need.

Hi Claudia, I try not to get too caught up in time, but as you know from our discussions I do it too. When I look at some of the athletic endeavors I want to participate in I can't help but feel pressure. Training is harder than it was in my twenties and my time to do so is more limited. On the other hand three of my grandparents lived into their nineties as did half of my great-grandparents so in theory I have a decent chunk of my life left to live. But ultimately I am not a clock watcher because I hate that. I stopped wearing a watch because all it did was make me feel like I was running late. So like you I do my best not to think about it and focus instead on trying to determine which things are most important to me.

Hi Bill, I laugh every time you say that you are simple because you may have simple tastes you still run deep.

Hi LaRae, One of the primary purposes of the blog is to air out the dark corners and the light inside my head. I see it as a tool for trying to make sure that I get as much out of life as I can. I like that quote.

Hi Hajra, That makes sense to me. Of course I have to add that I have this "concern" that I would forget to ask the three most important questions, whatever they may be. ;) Meanwhile life is happening now so I can't stomach the idea of putting things off because you don't know when that is going to change.

Hi Jen, Thank you. I don't know how to do this any other way than this one, so here it is. I agree with you that blogging provides a platform and a way for us to build bridges between people.
