I enjoyed reading this with your play on words and times, which is true. Yesterday, tomorrow and today are all intermingled in the present of our life. Psychology can make life even more difficult in its trying to explain it. An excellent poem, but then I enjoy reading your poems.

:D Awesome line and a lovely, thought provoking poem!!!
"Where the present slips into the past and the future overwhelms my Today."

To be present(together with others) and to be present in the present is not the same thing:D!

Osho, one of my favorite philosophers expressed the following:
"All the buddhas of all the ages have been telling you a very simple fact: Be - don't try to become. Within these two words, be and becoming, your whole life is contained. Being is enlightenment, becoming is ignorance."

And ultimately we are left with a choice; to explore or not to explore - "to be or not to be".

I know this feeling well, and sometimes wonder how much easier it would have been to remain unconscious, ignorant or just simply and blissfully unaware, and at times I even envy those who seem to show these characteristics of painlessness. I guess once the choice is made though, there is no stepping back, although I also wonder if choice actually has anything to do with it in the first place. My own desire to explore certainly never felt like a calculated decision; more so it feels like one that fate has designed for me due the particular circumstances of my life, and maybe through a high genetic disposition to look for answers to the mystery I believed was awaiting me.

Thanks for sharing this - it's always good to read something that provides a connection.

i read your text but when i saw the what you get for reading books on psychology i had hard time to know why

i am not too much in psychology, those who should explain work for them, they know what to expect from life

nice write
