RETROSPECTIVENESS

I was feeling some confidence, as I'd gotten permission to take tap dancing lessons AND piano lessons AND lariat and basket making lessons and had been promised an 'Indian' bow if i missed no days of 2nd grade.....and...I was finally allowed to go to The Grand Theater, by myself, to see "It Came from Outer Space"...in 3-D! I was so enthusiastic about "MOVIES"....especially '3-D' ones....that i walked to school...not only avoiding a noisy busload of kids, but saving half a buck a week...to spend on movie-going.......Yes, this 'look' is one of 'new confidences'......and a really crappy-looking cap......Retrospectiveness is just the relative rusty dull past redecorated with icing and sparkles......such is the nature of Memory.........does anyone remember their childhood as less glamorous than it was when they were formulating memories of it? So....if you're under 30....don't worry too much.......when you're in your lazy-boy recliner, reminiscing about your Wonder Years in the interstitial spaces between memory granules, the Present will vaporize in the laser-focus of false memory and fallalery of wish-fulfillment after the facts dreams...........Now, is the only time there is........Let us be "all for one" in this moment, for it is this moment that brings the next..........
