Dangling Decades and Dotage

[Kay Thompson Fields]

As we age.. We develop a preference.. Not for the Infinite and Eternal.. Instead we are firmly planted in the Present.. Like a child in his sandbox or contemplating his blocks..The present tense makes magical sense.. The young are unconcerned  and unaware of future plans and lofty goals.. Their present is our whole.. without a backward glance or modicum of Regret.. We simply Forget...Wiping the past clean, assuming it was just a Dream.. Engrossed in our own space.. Now,not then or when.. The very young and the very old know to stay in Present.. Where life is most Pleasant.
