The present is a temporary filling
The image shared by Kul UPPAL caught my attention. I found myself thinking about it.
I found myself asking if the present is a transient between the past and the future, or between yesterday and tomorrow. It is a moving thing as tomorrow becomes yesterday and tomorrow becomes the present. Are they be related and if yes, then how?
We have the yellow traffic light falling between green and red. It is short, but it alerts us what to do. It keeps our senses alert to the next step.
Temporary fillings for the teeth are short-lived and must be replaced by permanent fillings. Why do dentists brother to do temporary fillings then? There are two merits for doing that: strengthening the teeth and anchoring them in their correct position and to ensure that no tooth decay has remained. Tooth decay grows fast and if it grows again within the transient period the decay must be removed before the final filling is applied.
In chemical reactions we have short-lived transient states. No reaction shall be completed unless it passes over this state; else the reaction rolls back to give the reactants.
Politicians call for temporary and calming periods among fighting parties so that a solution may be arrived at. More often than not, these efforts roll back to the initial chaos. Antagonism wins and as a result fiercer fighting initiates.
A temporary or transient solution must be short in duration; prolonging it makes it worse. No temporary filling is welcome and no lasting today is a reward. Transient periods are like transient fillings- they have functions to accomplish with a short period of time.
Yes, live the day and accomplish what must be accomplished within the day. Time waits for nobody and procrastinating on doing what must be done is a sure thing to make things advance, but to the rear.Today is the temporary filling for the teeth of your days and so don't make your days toothless prematurely.

Thank you Ali Anani's questions and observations about tension and time passing quickly. Beside the subjective experience of time from a sensory perspective, there is also a connection between our physiology and the experience of time. Rhythm is an organizer and we experience the rhythms of heart rate/beats and breathing as we move in and out of synch with our external world. So for a very quick, off the top of my head example, if I am tensing up, either my breathing becomes shallow or I am holding my breath while my sense of time is that it is flowing past me. I am out of sync and in a sense of disequilibrium.

Ali Anani I don't know if you Remember I keep telling I wish I had 48 hours in a day this is why. I miss out on some great stuff here and come back whenever I can to try and catch up. This particular quote connects with me at the moment "A temporary or transient solution must be short in duration; prolonging it makes it worse. No temporary filling is welcome and no lasting today is a reward. Transient periods are like transient fillings- they have functions to accomplish with a short period of time " I guess I should stop complaining for the 48 hours and try to work well within the given 24 hours.

I have just started to read her buzzes, I've marked her as my favorites so I can't wait to all her buzzes and start commenting ( Smiles) and I was actually reading a few of Irene Hackett you work so well with the human mind and you are a great teacher like the many other bees here.

I find all in your comment my dear Irene Hackett have exchanged comments. If not, I hope you do because the feeling of "separateness" should disappear

Anees Zaidi I love your comment and the reference to Buddah quote. I am also reminded of one another quote by him "Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment " I can see this buzz is going to throw a plethora of questions in the longer run :)

I have delayed posting a buzz on shadows. Now I know why. I needed your quote, "The paradox here is that the light of knowledge sends us deeper in the darkness of unknowing." I waited for you to throw that ball Ali Anani before I could move further. Thanks again.

Dear Sara Jacobovici. I think you shall enjoy it and it shows how we learn more to find how much more we need to learn. The paradox here is that light f knowledge sends us deeper in the darkness of unknowing. Your contributions make me feel the same. Great brains like yours become increasingly modest.

I have to respectfully disagree to making attempts to be inside one of these compartments as it sounds to me more like a vacuum. You don't need to wipe out the past or future to live in the moment. On the contrary, there is no moment without them- who else would write such deep comment, but the THINKER Sara Jacobovici? You kept my senses alert for the next comment.

Sara Jacobovici I love what you said about "You don't need to wipe out the past or future to live in the moment. On the contrary, there is no moment without them" . I hear so many people talking about leaving the past or regretting it but I look at it more in your point of view as a moment that has led us to the present moment which the now. To connect time to our senses is such profound thinking. A perspicacious comment and I Loved it :)

My dear sister Irene Hackett- your comment evoked memories in my mind and how we got to know each other. I feel exactly that it is all the now that I am enjoying. The past led to the juicy memories that I am absorbed of. It is the now that makes me see a bright future for our connection. It is the now feelings of bonding like a sister and brother that strengthens or will, hope, anticipation and all great feeling. You beautified the now for me with your lovely comment, Irene

You know by now dear Fatima Williams would be jealous a little bit. I don't know if you and Lisa are connected or even exchanged comments. I bit if you would co-author a book it would be a bestseller.

Anees Zaidi It is absolutely amazing that she is sitting up and sharing her present. It is not time that decides how long we can live in the past, present or future. It is in our minds and our desires to say "Yes" or "No" to the present. Thnak you for sharing this amazing moment with us.

My dear brother Anees Zaidi- you read my mind and my intentions. I meant it by using the word filling. We could fill the present with "empty" and useless emotions and actions or with worthy ones. It is in the latter case where your great story falls. A touch story that we us realize that a genuine passion like love can transform us. You remind me of my buzz on love and this great comment of yours falls their as well. Great comment my friend
