I tend to cast a golden glow over my past because time has worn away the superficial worries that clouded my experiences at the time. Or viewed another way, that which is closest to the truth lasts longest, and because only love is true, love is all that remains when everything other than love has been erased by time. I tend to cast a golden glow over the future because, so far, my futures have been better than my pasts. I'm living the Western myth of progress. Things do get better. Perhaps it's these processes writ large that make me open to the possibility that a golden Sat Yuga existed in the distant past, and that an Age of Enlightenment could save us in the future. ------------------------ Yahoo!
