Who and what is Now?
I stopped in my tracks, on seeing this very intriguing picture. I’m sharing it will all of you as a prompt for this week.
It raised a lot of metaphysical questions. I wonder if there could be a light-hearted response to this, such as
As long as Later does not arrive….. And if Later is late, Now gets an extension, and escapes being pushed over the ledge, like it happened to Then. It is a path of no return. But one never knows what really happened in that valley. People just superimpose their own stories on Then.
But again, is this really light humor? I leave it open to you.
As usual, create whatever you can – a story, poem, anecdote, memory, picture …. Yes, a good picture that illustrates the point is also welcome.

Intense ….
I feel uneasy today. I hope it is a passing phase. But the prompt I chose reflects it. Let it remain on record like a journal.
There is one picture and two quotes. Choose any one, or choose all three, and create whatever you can. I would like to see a simplification – in the form of a story, poem, anecdote, memory, picture …. Yes, a good picture that illustrates the point is also welcome.

Now is subjective.
Now is just as much long as much anxiety/ happiness you allow for it.
Waiting for someone/something anxiously makes it long as eternity.
