...feel I'm driven by the need to do my part to keep the last vestiges of some combination of abstract ideals moving forward into this century....same reason I might be drawn to the flick "The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean"....

Part of me feels "the urgency of the moment." It is a pivotal time, and we are all lucky to be here, now....where we can truly make a tangible difference in our world. Sometimes, it is the "little stuff" that makes the most difference.

The singular uniqueness of our Time is that the world is beginning to "breathe together." We are truly uniting as ONE. Or at least ENOUGH of us to truly turn the world around.

I have lived many many lives on this planet and there has never been such a Time as NOW. All my lives seem to point to this one.

As Jane Roberts said (from Seth): "The Power is in the Present." That is always true. What we do in the PRESENT MOMENT is magic!

"urgency of the moment" is an good description.

Not taking time for granted is an awarness I carry with me constantly....

And I dosent see time as a clock, it is always as an hourglass... rapidly passing/slipping away...limited..
and it does affect how I prioritize and what I value and pursue...
