Moving Forward

I ran across this bit of wisdom in Lewis Mumford's Interpretations and Forecasts: 1922-1972:

"When we reach the present and seek to move forward, we are in the realm of myth and projection." pg. 376


It's clear that our fate is not predestined. In other words, the plan isn't the plan.

That quote reminds me that there is only one realm of action, and that's the present.

"The past is history, the future’s mystery, the present is a gift – that’s why it’s called the present."

Wise words recently heard from a silly movie, Kung Fu Panda. :)
