Thank you. I am fine. I step back, I give away my mistakes and what I perceive to be the mistaks of others, and trust to remember the light. It really works. We are not alone.

Thank you. I would be curious and happy to hear more from you about the idea you expressed. What does it mean to you to be out of time? The picture is funny in that regard. We popped out of time, so to speak.

what came to me when i thought of capturing such a shot, that hey, we are always out of time.no time to set ourselves right.no right to prepare for the end.no time to fix our deeds.
But there is time.a little time.and we are letting it go.

Thank you. You could also see it in a positive or liberating way, I would say. We often beat ourselves up, but that does not help us nor anyone else. I think what you are really saying is that time is always over. What we thought or did a moment ago is over. The past cannot affect us, unless we choose that it be so by holding on to our past references, which, of course, is what all human beings do. But there is no need to do this.
Yes, we cannot prepare, we can't fix anything if it is past. It is gone. But the past is not real. We often allow ourselves to assume without even knowing it, not to say questioning it, that we are determined by what seemed to happen in the past. But that is not so. We are created by God, and so we are whole and perfect. Our thoughts about ourselves do not reflect this, and so we must be wrong, because God is not wrong about us. We did not change ourselves by what we thought or did. That is our freedom and forgiveness. We truly are free, and nothing can ever change that. We forget it and wonder away in dreams, but that is all. Remembering is now.

Okay, i did lost you a bit.
Umm, I am talking about the present.Now.Right now.The things we are doing.The way we are going away from the path we should choose to walk on.
Human beings are not robots that they do what they are programmed to do.They make decisions for themselves.Like you said, yes, we are free. Free to choose and believe.But still, we do not think for our end.
We do not prepare for what is coming.That is all i mean.And i wish, including me, wake up and be that human being I should be.Work on my deeds.Because we are no saints.

Well, I refer to A Course In Miracles which is a divine message of salvation. It says that there is nothing to prepare, definitly not for any kind of future. What would be in the future except your own thoughts projected there. God is not in time, so He is not in the future. God does not know of time. There is only now, and we are NOW created perfectly. That is why preparation is a not a true idea. You cannot prepare for holiness. You are holy, now. When we stop doing whatever we do, we realize that this is so. You need do nothing, but tell that a human being. All he knows is doing. Being still and letting God be present is not a doing, not a fixing of anything, but an allowing and invitation to something we do not understand.
When we say, love God with all your heart, mind and soul, and you neighbor as yourself, you cannot prepare for that. One cannot say, I prepare myself to do this tomorrow, in 10 years, or whatever timeline one chooses. It is only meaningful and real when I love God and you now, and that is a decision. I choose to do that, because I want that, and nothing else.
