well, the first thing happened.....ed made me laugh- always a good thing.
then i looked at ed-- plaid jacket, the large dark-framed glasses and the dead on stare, the very picture of the older american male, and what he was saying was this: "does anybody still take me seriously, because i have something important to say here...." and ed does. maybe the MOST important thing in life.
like the old Eckankar transcendental meditation mantra "be here now", it's the key to being focused, to being alive because life's made of moments- not the next one, not the last one.....this one. i think ed's trying to tell us that.
whether it's touring the taj mahal, or in vegas winning at black jack inside the most beautiful body on earth, it's no more or less than ed has, standing in an institutional hallway painted a depressing green--- all of us, at the end of life or the beginning or in the middle, are on a level playing field experientially
and it's only in the moment- each moment, one by one- that we are truly alive. so yes, ed, we are here now, and will always be: leaping and yearning ahead, looking nostalgically back is not being alive, it's watching and wishing.
and thank you scott, for the 30 second lesson in "life 101", and ed- the most surprising of gurus. k.
