Your Dying Spouse 682 - No Yesterday, No Tomorrow

And so another really terrifying night, and I am so far past a reluctance to admit to fear.

But the thing about both pain and fear is that the bind you to the present, an that's not a bad thing. Memories can't drag you back, and in a sensed rug you with memory, and the future's opium-pipe of striving is doused.

You've got to be there, in the moment.

Win or lose.

I don't look forward, don't look back,

it only matters where I am.

History's bunk, the future's jack

and I have no master plan.

I've got no golden photo-past

to leaf through the days of yore

for things are moving very fast,

and yesterday's a bore.

Likewise it seems the coming days

will be harder than I want to face,

I'll have to trust to find the ways

to counter death's embrace.

You think me an odd, nihilistic duck,

but today's the day to make my luck.

Here's Bob Seeger, with Still The Same.
