And since what's "now" and what's "later" are such different things, sometimes it's hard for me to accept the bridge connecting the two. A steep transition lies ahead. If I weren't so caught up in being a linearly-focused human, I probably wouldn't be experiencing this gap. I wouldn't even see it, because it's not really there.
This sequential experience of events is fascinating. It's only been the last year or two that I've been able to regard it as an abstract concept...
And, yet, here I am, still surrendering to the convenience of referring to things in a linear sense...as if the span of my life really has a beginning and an end...
