Then = middle o’ June

Now = now

I mean, really. I’m ready. Aren’t you?

I agree. Real life is so… lifeless

As far as now. They just got a fresh coat of snow.

Before you know it, it will be over…just be patient people :wink:

I am doing the best I can to at least make now feel like then as best as I can. :cheers

Snow here too! (Santa Fe) It’s gonna be a cool one. I’m prepping for snow during the festival… which would be AWESOME as long as the sun comes out later that day…

ps Patience? Patience! Yeah, yeah. Okay.

My countdown clock is set for Landrush and it’s currently reading T-20 Days, 12 Hours and change, but…

  • I leave 2 days prior to that 20 mark, so it’s only 18 days.
  • I work 12 of that 20, so it’s down to 6 days.
  • I have company from the UK for CMA Fest for 2 Days, down to 4 now.
  • I need one days time to keep checking the forum, 3 Days.
  • I can never think straight the day before Lift-Off… 2 Days.

:spill I CAN LEAVE IN TWO DAYS!!! :woohoo :woohoo :woohoo :woohoo :woohoo :woohoo :woohoo

I feel the same way on occasion, but it’s important to remember the following:

Whatever is material shape, past, future, present, subjective or objective, gross or subtle, mean or excellent, whether it is far or near — all material shape should be seen by perfect intuitive wisdom as it really is: “This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self.” Whatever is feeling, whatever is perception, whatever are habitual tendencies, whatever is consciousness, past, future, present, subjective or objective, gross or subtle, mean or excellent, whether it is far or near — all should be seen by perfect intuitive wisdom as it really is: “This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self.”

  • Gautama

What is meant by that, of course, is:

Why the hell can’t it be June 13th right now, and why can’t I be reclining in my lawn char, 7 miles west of Telluride while sipping an IPA, wondering what the house band will open with in 4 days? :cheers

It seems like forever…at least I have Phish June 3-5 at Pine Knob, Blossom and Riverport to tie me over…gonna be a fine 30th birthday present to myself. :cheers

What shall we say, shall we call it by a name
As well to count the angels dancing on a pin
Water bright as the sky from which it came
And the name is on the earth that takes it in
We will not speak but stand inside the rain
And listen to the thunder shout
I am, I am, I am, I am

^ I’d go along with that too :thumbsup
