Between Yet And Not Yet

Someone noted we live in the "in-between" age: an age that straddles past and future eras. In this "in-between" age we experience elements of a passing age, and we also sense new elements of an age yet to be fully manifest. Perhaps the "in-between" age has always marked human perception of things. Still, I mean an age characterized by a world yet here but in processes of passing away and of yielding reluctantly to a world quite not yet here. An "in-between" age of passing and yielding.

Clearly, movement from past through present to future arises from multiple, internal, inexorable forces of nature (themselves, so it seems, unchanging ... oddly enough). This movement, also clearly, arises from countless human decisions - whether determined or willfully free. But I mean not so much to speak to that "in-between" age, namely, of finding oneself in the midst of nature's processes. Rather, I speak here to an "in-between" age whose movement away from the passing system toward a world not yet here arises by force outside creation's cosmological system, which very force yet sustains the passing system.

This, the age within which I live: Between yet and not yet.

P.S. So, these notes, while open to those who may find them (but how would they? ... and if they did, why stay long enough to muse?), stand much more a mildly narcissistic repository of personal reflections and thinkings while life prevails "in-between", than they do as a soapbox -- though soapboxes aplenty likely will be. Musings in the sections ahead, consequently, may deal with most any notion.

P.P.S. Oh, and, as attributed to Solomon the wise, "there is nothing new under the sun" ... just so, nothing will be original, there yet will be no attributions.
