Moments in Time…

If there was a way to go into the future by short cuts, I’d have discovered it by now. That’s how desperate I get when I think of the future.

There are moments I want to pause. If I could have a folder to keep everything good that has happened to me, I will. That way, I can find it easier to dwell on the good times and the happy memories, even when hard things happen all over again.

If I could have a tool that generates solutions for me when I need them, how easy would life get? I just have to input my problems and voila, it gives me a detailed plan on what I can do, where to go, who to meet.

And what if I made mistakes? What if I made a fool of myself? I can just delete right? Erase that memory. Not from the mind of the people but from mine. I find it really hard to forgive myself compared to others.

What if I needed to just breathe? Disappear. Maybe I’d sleep. I always sleep. But what if I can sleep and wake up to the same point in time? What if time doesn’t pass by as I need to think or ponder on my next course of action?

And when all is said and done, what happens if I’m given the power to just make it all go away? What if I didn’t have to worry about damning consequences and just “shut down”? What if I had the assurance that like a computer, I could go off and come back or I could choose to go and never return?

So many what ifs. So many possibilities if only we had the ultimate power. I remember how the sun stood still for the Israelites to bring home victory and I recognize that as ultimate power.

Yet, I may not be in control of every event that happens in my life. Life bends you over and gives you the finger, still we get up, clean ourselves and move on to the next chapter. It will never stop because with great power comes greater responsibility.
