A request by Brother John Forward Forward is a thing to be The steeping of this earthly tea A terragueous yet to form A thing to be but not yet born But in the Eden of the mind There is the sum of past to find Pointers of the roads to come All Filigree but not a sum Each step we take is future bound It’s there the future will be found But till the time has set its stamp We cannot light the futures lamp The future is a wile away A seem a dream of futures day It can be all you would it to But that is but a personal coup And since we steep this earthly tea We cannot know what e’er will be |

Dear Seymour, Thank you for helping us to "See More." In classical Hebrew, there is no present tense. The nearest word to the present is the word "now". Yet, now is active. Time was a matter of practicality. No one captures the present tense. We are then left with the past and the future. We live facing one or the other. To face the past is a delusion for it is gone. We then live on the edge of what will be or better, what could be. So we live with the right foot in the past and the left foot in the future. I use right and left poetically. The edge of the future is a moving frontier. Thanks Seymour for saying all this is a lovely way. |

"And since we steep this earthly tea" Ah Sy, your work is always wonderful and there is always a line that hooks my heart hard. |
