In your hand, you have a branch. It's three feet long, two
inches wide. But is it green and freshly cut or is it rotting
away?
-Kenneth Udut, age 14/15, on a school paper I wrote on Black
Holes
[Ken, age 42: ''When'' makes a difference. Who, What, Where,
How, and Why are all great questions but perhaps the one of most
importance is: When. Time moves forward in our 3D life, but it
can move backwards, sideways, jump around, even turn inside-out
in our minds. If something in the past is bothering you, let it
go. YOU are keeping it alive. Use your mind to keep good things
alive as long as you can: happy memories, the personalities of
loved ones who you can't see anymore for whatever reason. But
let the bad things go. They're just rotting you away inside. Use
your imagination to graft yourself back onto a living tree
instead, or turn yourself into a pumpkin if you like. It's your
mind.]
