Thank you for sharing this thoughtful piece, Alan. I agree entirely! The present is all there is; the past is gone, and the future is just an unknowable source of fear and anxiety, conjured up in our own minds. As Bob Dylan sings, “Yesterday is just a memory; tomorrow is never what it’s supposed to be, and I need you…” We all need each other, right now. So let us honor the past, plan for our uncertain and dangerous future as best we can, but LIVE in the present!
