The Causal Arrow Of Time

Within each moment a future is born -- whether real or virtual. We can glimpse the probable future. We can plan. We can hope. But we are not the only one in charge.

Other forces, other entities push at our own moment in time and the unfolding is sometimes what we never expected -- what we never dreamed.

It is almost impossible to say where you and I and our world will be in a year from now-- in a decade. We can stretch our minds beyond their current grasp and hope to touch a bit of reality, but it often fades into the wind.

So best not to plan. Best to let the future simply unfold.
