the journey

where are you headed? where are you coming from? where are you now?

these make up who we are... our past, present, and future, not necessarily in that order.

they say that living in the now makes us happy, but living in the past or future makes us less so.

when I look far up or down these train tracks, I can't make out the details... what I see is partially what's there, but mostly what I imagine it to be. when I look at where I am right now, I see it in full vivid detail.

maybe that's why the present is a gift. because we see it in full, vivid, 3D detail.
