Description
It is human nature to want to mark time by encapsulating it in increments as short as a nanosecond and as long as an eon. It's mans way of attempting to control what cannot be corralled. Time is but quicksilver through our fingers. It is a supersonic jet that moves too slow for the young, but far too fast for anyone old enough to recognize the inevitable endgame of life. There is no better example of our futile attempts to harness time than what happens at the end of a year or the close of a decade. Every newspaper, magazine and tabloid news show serves up a "look back" at the events that "shaped our lives." What once was a schmaltz-fest has more recently become a trek back through the misery of poverty, war, crime and celebrity insolence. Evidently, the lesson offered by Lot's wife fell on deaf ears, as we are wont to look back rather than turn our eyes to the emerging sun.
