You’ve got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive,
Eliminate the negative,
Latch on to the affirmative,
Don’t mess with Mr. In-Between.      Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer

With all do respect to Messieurs. Arelen and Mercer, when it comes to “time” we have no options. We must “Mess with Mr. In-Between.”  If we don’t we too easily find ourselves tied up in what I call “just ahead syndrome.”   “Just ahead is what I want. Just ahead is the place for which I am looking.  Just ahead is satisfaction.  Just ahead is happiness.”  Just ahead thinking eliminates the in-between, the now, the place I really live.  We get busier than termites in a yo-yo — emails, cell phones, appointments, — and miss the very essence of the days through which we pass. The trite truth is often the hardest to grasp…..This life is a journey and not a destination.  Life is Mr.In-between, between now and then is where we best  “Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive and latch on to the affirmative.”  This may be the perfect day to start messin’ around in the in between.

Carpe Diem
