I was thrilled when the Large Hadron Collider at CERN went online several years ago, and even more thrilled when one of the first results from experiments using the new technology confirmed the existence of heretofore theoretical particles that appeared to be traveling faster then the speed of light - perhaps up to four times as fast.

I danced a happy jig, and announced to all within earshot, "It's a brand new day, and a brave new world!"  Suddenly I could imagine a theoretical basis for having all the time I needed to do all the things I wanted to do.  

I could be in multiple places simultaneously.  I could repair mistakes I made in the past.  Leap forward to prepare a better world in which to evolve.  Derail the train of time, hop on my bike, and ride to the edge of the Big Bang.  Meet all my selves - past, present, and future - round us all up in a sweat lodge, and map out a manner of being that would evade all possible negative consequences. 
 

I set the meeting for 4 pm on July 29.  Even got there early with some light refreshments.  And, guess what...no one showed up!!  I guess my other selves are as inconsiderate and irresponsible as I am.  Maybe there's still something I don't understand.

“Remember how electrical currents and ‘unseen waves’ were laughed at? The knowledge about man is still in its infancy.” – Albert Einstein.

Ariel's Note: Paul Porter is "a peripatetic pilgrim...eclectic, didactic, but not pedantic...a walking contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction. He began his journey on a dairy farm in Kansas, and now rests his head in Pele's fiery bosom on the Big Island of Hawaii. He's always looking forward to tomorrow and the new things tomorrow will bring."
