expanding past the present

If you can get yourself to a dark place at night

And look out into the far reaches of space

What you see is what was there in the distant past.

Where things are now can only be extrapolated.

The same is true seeing the sun in the sky

Not where it is now but where it was 10 minutes ago

Already below the horizon as we see it setting.

This moment now is proximate.

We live in the present

But much of what we experience

Happened in the past

Not just with our inner life.

Mind and matter in a kind of symmetry

Not the symmetry of quantum physics

Not the symmetry of spatial shapes

But as parallel universes.

If time is an arrow there’s no going back

But neither is there any leaving behind.

The past is with us and ever expanding

Being revealed as happening now.
