the journey to now

the journey to now.

it is possibly more difficult 

to journey to now

than to establish a community of humans 

living on Mars.

with now, 

we don't have a method of getting there

and a means of being there.

with Mars, we have a fixed perspective 

to work with 

and an affirmation potential of being there.

with now, we have no clear location

or any definite method as means.

Mars is within the realm of attainable, 

as a possibility.

with now, we have to overcome 

a magnitude of improbabilities.

Mars is within the range 

of experiential claims and accomplishment.

now seems to defy all means of approach.

Mars has the benefit of experience 

as a employable means 

and all the affirmations of being present

in predictable experiential ways.

Mars has a functional use of time and space

as operatives for the cause.

now has no clear space occupancy

and certainly makes time an improbable dimension 

to work with, much less also be in.

with us being humans, 

experience is a fatal flaw

in the experiment of getting to the now,

and subsequently being there.

we have little access to means

and no clear method of mindfulness.

one, the Mars issue, has approach accepting time 

and its medium of usage.

while the other, now, finds time useless.

even the predication of time is senseless.

actually, we don't know how to use our senses

if time is not a mentor in that process.

this is all very stunning,

that what seems so far away

is so approachable

and what seems so close

is actually immeasurably out of sight.

the journey to now

really, it can't be essentially in thought . . .
