HIS MASTER'S VOICE

the future may overwhelm ... the past forget us ... but it's the present that whirls us ... some say it's nothing but a concept and can't exist but in the abstract ... well so at least it must enter into the conversation as a word to use and talk about ... the present ... isn't english blessed by the angel of ambiguity ... that which we are given is the thing we least hold onto ... wherein elsewhere do we make such a poor display ... stand up sit down ... it's the lord of the present calls us to failing attention till exhausted we let the future be swallowed by the past and spend all our days in remembrance ... but remember this too ... it was by a concept you missed the present ... by what you chose to believe that you lost the gift ... change your belief ... replace the bad concept ... lay hold onto eternal life ... there's the rub ... it must be your pride ... the love you have for the sound of your own voice ... shh ... be still ... be quiet ... read the good books and listen to the truth ... it has a peculiar sound ... you recognize the voice
