Our metaphorical treasure ship, Idling Well, is currently straddling the International Date Line, so the stem and the stern are located in different calendar days. Where is our hero? Here and now, he’s in the ship’s indoor-outdoor theater of imagination, screening a seriously funny philosophical movie.
“To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.” –Lao Tzu quote

“The past is never where you think you left it.” –Katherine Anne Porter
The distinction between before and after the clock strikes one, cracks me up like a funhouse mirror. The very idea of distinguishing between early and late makes me laugh with the gods of science.
“The distinction between the past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.” –Albert Einstein
“I intend to live forever, or die trying.” -Groucho Marx
The audience is booing the 100-year-old comic for boring them with the same old joke. Under his breath, the comic mutters, “God, don’t let me die up here on the stage, let me kill the audience.” Everybody in the audience keels over like reaped wheat. The comic cries,“God,I was speaking metaphorically!” A voice replies, “In that case, either write a new joke before you step off the stage, or be taken literally.”
The subject of today’s seriously funny philosophical post: The finite and infinite benefits of writing a new joke, where fatal metaphors, namely Father Time, a.k.a. the Grim Reaper, do not get the last laugh. The finite benefit: Writing such a joke focuses our imagination on a timeless state of consciousness where there is nothing to do but be happy, and all of time to do it now.
The infinite benefit: We realize our greatest desire now.
