G&T Meets the Doctor

Given any number of circumstances, this blog entry has no physical substance. Anything more for less esoteric would be inconsistent with the subject and the inspirations.

So, what does it mean to be the “last” ? If you take things literally – and by that, I mean all that we have been told of ourselves – each one of us is unique. Then, when we finally pass, we are “the last of our kind”.

While the “Last of the Time Lords” is the title for an episode of the current Doctor Who series, it is also an opportunity to stop and reflect. “What will the world be when you or I are gone?” Will we have made a difference? When 10 years or 100 years have past, will there be a record of our existence; or our accomplishments ; or will we be just a record in a database somewhere, recorded in a format long since obsolete?

Too much reflection for you – yeh ? Not a problem. Let’s turn the deck up-side-right and look at all of the card on the table. Imagine for a moment that it is 10 years after either of us has passed. How is the world different ? How is the world the same ? And here is the kicker – How would you like the world to be ?

Take that last bit and now ask yourself – what have I done to insure the world is as I imagine ? Have I done anything to insure (or at the very least nudge) the world has moved toward how I dream it to be ? If not, then how can we expect that image to become a reality ?

Perhaps it is G&T + Doctor. Perhaps it is the transition of chapters in our lives. Perhaps it is the result of recent readings of RTTC. Perhaps it is a few well rehearsed words from our parents. What ever the reason, the source matters little. The action matters most. “Deeds not words.” Decide how you want to change the world. Take action. Our days are numbered. Leave a legacy. Each day is an opportunity. Each night signals a day gone. There are only so many days – how many we are not told. Act everyday to move a little closer to the “tomorrow you envision”.

PEOPLE = CHANGE
