My most fervent wish.

When I become totally absorbed in now, I lose track of time. And that's truly living. Because I shut out everything else. I'm focused. I'm wearing blinders. I can't be distracted.  I've captured the moment. One can't be totally absorbed all the time. Impossible, I suppose. And maybe I don't necessarily want to lose track of time. I have to catch a plane to Sardinia in two weeks. I'd hate to miss the plane because I lost track of time. I know people with dementia. And some of 'em have no or little sense of time. Maybe for them it's a blessing. But not for me. Because I need time. To be able to live a full life. I need a past. And a future. My most fervent wish is to have forever. --Jim Broede
