The Future – Daily Object Writing – Oct 1st
At any particular moment the future has just happened, even one nanosecond away and it’s already been and gone and become the ‘past’, and we’re left with a flash of experiences and sensations stored on the hard drive of our senses, sometimes easy to recall other times lost in a mist.
The future is Gassy, can’t really be grabbed hold of because it’s un-known. Donald Rumsfeldt’s explanation of unknown ‘knowns’ and ‘known’ unknowns flashes to mind from a precedent to war some time ago – you can plan for the future, plan for an invasion , plan for a victory, a house by the sea, winning a running race, becoming the boss, but nothing is certain. We’re just sailing in a boat of hope until we land on the shore of that place we imagine in ‘the future’, but then more dreams must be dreamed , in fact while in that boat have more dreams or moon landing syndrome might click in – “I’ve been to the moon. Now what?” Got to have something just a little beyond what’s current- what you’re in – like now it’s Trans Siberian Railway – large and undefined in blurry colours, slowly coming into focus, but what beyond that?
I put my nose out to sniff the breeze of the future, where it might go who I might be, and take the scent of a path until it turns into a dead end or a dream come true – I never know but the mouth of my imagination begins to water- to savour the tastes, the sights, the sounds, the smells of far away places, foreign lands, strange musics and ideas that become a coathanger I dress with the future.
