The future: time's excuse
to frighten us; too vast
a project, too large a morsel
for the heart's mouth.

Future, who won't wait for you?
Everyone is going there.
It suffices you to deepen
the absence that we are.


Rainer Maria Rilke, "The future".

Time is so relative...maybe we´ll never be in the future, only in the present. But it's nice to fream of a future.

Oh, Mexico! Gracias por tus palabras y la visita, Zoe!
Fantasizing and dreaming of a future, but look!: the human being lives leaned on the future!, inclined over our possibilities and our desires. Only who resign itself to not be happy doesn't live inclined to the future, isn't?
