It doesn't seem it as it is taking place. The slipping of time,that is.
One moment she is running to catch up with her older sister, who is no older than 7 or the little boy is afraid to come out from under the covers because he hears the wind rustling the bedroom door knob to his room which seems to be,in his racing imagination, the next coming of some witch,ghost or goblin, but then it is 20 years later.
Or the young girl is getting ready for the first day in college or the young man is considering his first real job offer, but then they are a mom and dad watching their little girl chase after her sister or the little boy bravely opening the bedroom door to chase away the bogeymen.
All moments. All connected. All meaningful. So often overlooked. So often ignored because of something or someone that we can not even now recall.
Only by living agelessly, by living outside of clocks and calendars  can we truly experience the life we are living.
Time. The passing of time. The moments in time. It is not the goals,plans,grand strategies or the big deal cut that stays with us. Rather it is the moments we let slip away that come back to haunt us. At those moments, the small is the large,the minor is major. It is the continuing paradox.
Live the Experiment today. Live the minor as major. Live the small as large.
Live the vision of the child. Be timeless and ageless..just for today. Today is all we have.
