Milestones

He is fourty years old today. I will be thirty seven in a few short months. This is year 2010. All the timelines we talked about before like it was another lifetime away, is here. Upon us. So sudden and yet, we knew time was passing by, getting us closer to this very moment.

I wonder why we are feeling so out of sorts then. Taken by surprise, unbelieving that the moment in our lifes that we talked about has arrived. Its as if we have been asleep all these years and suddenly have woken up to find we have been robbed of those precious moments, milestones, special occasions, achievements, etc that we thought we would have reached before this momentous year.

One thought is so horribly true, there is no turning back time to redo, reexperience, repent, realise, recover and relive. The tomorrows are here, and its too late. It is definitely too late to go back. Now there is an invisible current of urgency pushing us to move forward, fast, to catch up so that we wont be taken by surprise again by the loss of another decade.

There is no more time to waste.
