Well, "zoinks", I must say that "not henry porter" is right, I am looking for more of a "conversational" thread...
In that way, there would potentially be room for jokes, Bob analogies, etc....
I am enjoying the comments so far, although it really does make my head hurt a little sometimes to consider every comment. I don't seem capable of coming up with long paragraphs of thought like "wurly" and "n.h. porter" here...
You both were talking about "time and memory".
When Bob sings: "Time is a jet plane
It moves too fast
Oh but what a shame
That all we've shared can't last"
well, doesn't all they've shared last in the form of memories? Surely he doesn't wish that every happy moment remained as tangible as the moment it occured? (Although I've wished that sometimes).
Or if he is referring to the end of a relationship, does he mean that "all we've shared" no longer exists at all?
If those are stupid questions, do me a favor and just disregard and carry on with what you were doing!
Oh, P.S.-- wurlitzer, in regard to you "expanding universe" comments : If EVERYTHING is expanding to the same degree and at the same speed then wouldn'T EVERYTHING remain in the exact same relation to each other? (But are they and do they---that is my question)...
