Title: Time

"The past is never dead.  It's not even past."  --William Faulkner

I just noticed this, about time, there being really no "past".

Just thinking, all who are dead just "seem" that way.  That there is only one past, the one we are living in--the "present".  The ideas of past and perhaps future, too, are merely as we "see" them.

All of the "dead" are really just waiting, as we are.  And even we are not yet really "alive", since we too are passing away.  

How we are "seeing" things is not really how things are.
