(I was going to name this post "the last word on time" but that seemed somewhat final.)
Thank you all who responded so positively to my thoughts, I have to admit the concluding sentences were not in mind when I started it! But they work for me, as well as they seem to have for you.
It was my brother who made a very different but as insightful comment; he recalled a post from earlier last year, in which I reflected on the positivity (for me at least) of "counting up" (or not counting at all!).
And he perceptively noticed that my reflections on "powers of 10" had a hint of counting down. He was right, but I have to admit it was not intended.. And as he agrees, this doesn't fundamentally alter the central conclusion of living "now".
Is there a way of living now? "making a difference" was/is my mantra. But Diana was inspired by Roman Kent, who spoke at the recent Auschwitz anniversary ceremony; where he called for an 11th commandment. “You should never be a bystander”. A great philosophy that definitely makes a difference with a deep underlying message.
