~ FUTURE ~

Like trying to look through a misted window, the future is there, in front of us, but cannot be seen.  And that is a blessing.

We live the present the way we do because we can't see the future. That blindness is really a blessing.

Its pretty cool idea, Mike. Interesting approach.

""Nous n'avons pas de futur.
Pour tout le monde le futur parfait c'est la mort.
Notre seul bien c'est le présent, la minute même ; celle qui suit n'est déjà plus à nous.""

Une simple image pour une grande vérité. Merci Mike.

But sometimes I wish I could see the future... Your tabblos are great.
Wildthing said at 6:47 p.m. on Sep 30, 2009:
Thank you, EDUARDO, NEUSINHA, THIERRY et KARINE, and RITA. I believe that if we could see what lies in store, we could not live with the present. It is now that we should be concerned with. Tomorrow will unfold all too soon.

Swedfinn said at 7:19 p.m. on Sep 30, 2009:
it is good that way. We can go on reading our horoscopes and dream of that big CHANGE or OPPORTUNITY that they promise us. True or not but illusions are the essence of the life that keeps us going.

excellent tabblo, the words go perfectly with the image and vice versa. thanks.

Extremely creative,Mike and oh so true.Yes,it is a blessing that we cannot see the future and its important to live in the present.

Que sera, sera , whatever will be will be..the future is not ours to see..que sera sera..what will be ..will be...

Just ariund the corner.

Interesting Tabblo Mike!!!
Hollyridger said at 8:45 p.m. on Sep 30, 2009:
If we knew what was around the corner what would happen to the power of hope? Just a thought... This photo is extraordinary, Mike, just great!
Noe said at 9:28 p.m. on Sep 30, 2009:
Beautiful tabblo Mike!! :o)
ConnieL said at 9:36 p.m. on Sep 30, 2009:
I'm glad we can't see the future...then we would either want to avoid it or to hurry it up. It's the old, "today is always here, tomorrow never comes, and yesterday is always gone". Today is what we have. :)
Debdog said at 10:02 p.m. on Sep 30, 2009:
yes, if we could see the future we for sure may not be able to face what's coming/////best to take it AS it comes!:) great shot Mike! love it
Lifequest22 said at 10:06 p.m. on Sep 30, 2009:
Life happens in the present. And staying in the present is not easy. We often waste much time worrying about the past and fretting about the future.
Charlespop said at 10:11 p.m. on Sep 30, 2009:
Just think how boring things would be if we knew what was going to happen in the future. Suspense, thats what makes the world go round. Way cool tabblo !
DanMan said at 1:12 a.m. on Oct 1, 2009:
Interesting perspective...
Lageho said at 2:57 a.m. on Oct 1, 2009:
Nice. We can´t see the future, but it´s still there.
Wildthing said at 4:02 a.m. on Oct 1, 2009:
I think the consensus is that we should live for today and let the future take care of itself. It is amazing how what we do now must alter the outcome, though. We affect life and people daily as we move through time, and also change what would have been outcomes. Powerful stuff. We should probably think more before we speak or act. As Jorma says, illusions are what keeps us going. Dreams and aspiration give us a goal to aim towards. But all we really need is love and laughter.

Thank you for your views, ANDRE, JORMA, SUE, SANDY, ENALDO, BOB, ROSANE, NOREEN, NOE, CONNIE, DEB, LINDA, CHARLES, DAN, and LARS.

Its a blessing not to know about the future, I am sure it will be a torture if you did !!! Appreciate the depth of your Tab..
Tishfish said at 7:06 a.m. on Oct 1, 2009:
I agree with Mike, I certainly would not like to see the future, I prefer to live life as it comes.
Leftofcenter said at 8:18 a.m. on Oct 1, 2009:
there's future and there's future. future of the planet. for our kids and their kids. and then there is our personal future: will I grow old and healthy, will I ever make that trip to Bali? stuff we shouldn't worry about too much. yes- the present. love and laughter and.. tabblo? :) like ThierryKarine said (in French) a simple photo for a great truth. you da best Fox.
PhotoPop said at 8:27 a.m. on Oct 1, 2009:
A simple but a very effective composition, the b/w makes it pop. Excellent.
Here is a bumper sticker quote I once saw:
"Even people who believe everything is predestined
look before they cross the street."

i believe the future is unwritten but we are all time travellers the time we create, the misted glass is well done b&w is just perfect for this thanks Mike
Cowgirl said at 10:48 a.m. on Oct 1, 2009:

“ Kiss your life. Accept it, just as it is. Today. Now.
So that those moments of happiness you're waiting for don't pass you by "
... unfortunately I don´t know who said this .... but could be a " Wildthing " :-) !!!
Wildthing said at 12:52 p.m. on Oct 1, 2009:
Thank you for your thoughtful comments on this, DAVID, DOREEN, ANNELIES, JOHN, JOE, BOBBIE, and SEAN.

If you could go back in time and change just one thing to alter the future, what would it be???
Appropos said at 12:58 p.m. on Oct 1, 2009:
nice tabblo mike .. looking thru a misty window one can just see shadows ...
Wildthing said at 3:39 p.m. on Oct 1, 2009:
Thanks, FARID.
Wildthing said at 4:00 p.m. on Oct 1, 2009:
Yes, FARID, and they could be anything!
Loes said at 5:08 p.m. on Oct 1, 2009:
So true Mike, thanks!
Wildthing said at 5:40 p.m. on Oct 1, 2009:
Thank you, LOUISE. I think that every decision we make, however small, alters our future, and that of others. Maybe it's a responsibility, to think before we act, and say or do nothing that we would not want said or done to us. Surely that would improve all of our futures.
Jesusgoz said at 8:54 p.m. on Oct 1, 2009:
Absolutamente inspirada.
YonderCreature said at 2:20 a.m. on Oct 2, 2009:
My favourite part of this tabblo /photo is the streaking trail of condensation that rolled down the window. It's like the opposite of tears---usually tears blur our vision, yet these streaks actually give hints of clarity in an otherwise obscured view. Perhaps if we see the future with 'tears', we would value it more and make our present more meaningful. Perhaps we'd stop squandering the present if we see the present things that cause us most the pain or suffering or aggravation as that which strengthens/prepares us for a better future.
Siagian said at 3:02 a.m. on Oct 2, 2009:
though the window may be misted, we are still able to discern whether it is day or night, clear or cloudy, sunny or rainy...hope is what keeps us going. without hope, there is nothing worth doing today... kudos Mike!
Wildthing said at 3:50 a.m. on Oct 2, 2009:
Thank you, JESUS, YC, and WOODY. The fact that we cannot see our own impending fate, is surely what gives us the optimism to have hope and enjoy the journey. Getting older doesn't diminish the enjoyment of life, but does concentrate the mind on just how important each passing hour is.
Candlepower said at 11:15 a.m. on Oct 2, 2009:
Thoughtful and well done!
Robya said at 11:17 a.m. on Oct 2, 2009:

Glad you like it, CELIA.
NavyMom said at 9:53 p.m. on Oct 2, 2009:
made me stop and think.
Wildthing said at 4:46 a.m. on Oct 3, 2009:
I'm glad, SHIRL. I like to have that effect sometimes.
Ira said at 7:12 a.m. on Oct 3, 2009:
Beautiful photo. Shades and composition. Philosophical words...
Wildthing said at 7:53 a.m. on Oct 3, 2009:
Thank you, IRA.
Ebucar said at 3:42 p.m. on Oct 3, 2009:
Perfect!!!
Wildthing said at 4:40 a.m. on Oct 4, 2009:
I'm glad you think so, ELIANE.
HtD said at 10:23 a.m. on Oct 4, 2009:
be happy Mike that you can not see it. nobody knows what happens in the future. Illness global warming, diseasters, earthquakes.

enjoy a good glass of wine tonight Mike. it could be the last one.
Wildthing said at 10:30 a.m. on Oct 4, 2009:
If it might be my last, then I'll drink the whole bottle, HENK :)
HtD said at 10:43 a.m. on Oct 4, 2009:
LOL:)))

The future----- good or bad ? What matters is the present , hold it tight and embrace every second as if it was your last . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Iu1uD3R3pA
