...Not the kind of wheel you fall asleep at...

Call Received 4:30 am, Sunday...


No matter how many times I set the time and date on my answering machine, it somehow gets completely off-track. My sister called me sometime yesterday, and the machine told me that she had called/will call Sunday at 4:30 am.

I haven't yet decided if my machine is in fact divining future phone calls or channeling past ones. I prefer the thought that it's foreseeing the future, that my sister will have actually called me this upcoming Sunday but that my machine gave me her message five days ahead of time.

This somehow seems worthy of some sorta philosophical discussion.

But I am tired from lack of sleep, so instead I will quote The Books:

"That which is now
That which is to be hath already been
That which is now hath already been
To be to that which is that which is now

Something is happening that is not happening
Something is happening which is not happening at all

That which is now
That which is to be hath already been
That which is now hath already been
There is no remembrance of former things"

("Take Time"--The Books)
