Past and Present - a photo on Flickriver

Past and Present

            “It's being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one.” 
― George Harrison

I've never read the book. It's just the perfect sized little book to carry with me as a prop. And on the open pages, are a few of my treasures from my birthday weekend.... Cape May Diamonds (or basically, little round quartz pebbles.... not terribly impressive!) [The  Present] We stopped on the beach and everyone was crawling around on the sand picking them up. We weren't sure what we were looking for, so we went into the gift shop where one of the workers explained them to us, and showed them to us and told us that it took three weeks of tumbling them in a rock tumbler to make them look pretty. We didn't have a rock tumbler, although Dave had one when he was a kid and they used to vacation in Cape May [The Past]. So, I asked him... does this mean that we can't go out to the beach and look for them now... because they are ugly... and we don't have a rock tumbler? He said... YES.   (What?!!! Ugh!!!) I love having things to look for. I'll be going back here.... [the Future] AND .... my sister does have a rock tumbler. I have to go back... I lost two of my ugly little pebbles while shooting this photo! Yeah... I'm going back...

Time... Past, Present, Future... and The Now.
Sometimes I think deep thoughts.... other times I think about zombies....
