| It is a paradox that in our time of drastic rapid change, when the future is in our midst devouring the present before our eyes, we have never been less certain about what is ahead of us. | |

I really like this one, Kevin. My guess is it is a time factor that keeps us from knowing about the future or anything else. Every minute is often filled to overflowing. There is no time to “be still”. Have a blessed Sunday.
Hi Marie,
Thank you for the comment!
I think your observation describes the symptom, rather than explains it (the problem of change). Our perception of the “overflowing” moment is the symptom. I don’t think any moment is actually more full than any other. And, it is the sense of constant change which is altering our perception of reality.
I hope you have a blessed Sunday, too!
