Real Tense

A random thought
          there are not three tenses but four

as in

past
          present
                    future
and
                    real
          tense

Real tense
          The place
                    the space
          where we
get real

with ourselves
          with God
with each other

moving from being

real
(The Very)
Tense

to the Real Tense

A friend writes in response to another blog, “I need to have more courage to bring all of myself to the table . . . and to reach out to the scary differences instead of staying safely the same.”

It is scary to meet each other, masks off, I think.

But it is also oh, so much better, to know and to be known in the real tense.
