A Life Now

Have you ever watched the hands of a ticking clock, trying to observe the movement of the minute hand? Wasn't it subtle? What about the hour hand? If you thought that was slow, imagine that every day, Mid-Atlantic ridge spreads it's rocky thighs a further .007 centimeters. The Himalayas grow, swelling with pride from below at a rate of 2.4 inches every year and Mount Everest is moving about 27 millimeters northeast in the same time.

The point?

Mountains will move, but it's going to take awhile and you won't be able to watch.

And me. Me, well. I'm moving at a rate somewhere between the hour hand and Everest, waiting for someone, anyone to turn their head long enough to look back to see me gone...
