Lessons of Time: Reflecting on 'Time The Teacher' by Ricardo Derose.

"Time The Teacher."

If, from the Past, you have learned
At Present, you would be less concerned,
about how the Future will be turned.

~Ricardo Derose



Title: Lessons of Time: Reflecting on 'Time The Teacher' by Ricardo Derose.

"Time The Teacher" is a poetic manifestation of my respect for time's teachings and belief in its power to instill wisdom. In three straightforward lines, I distill the essence of life's journey, one marked by lessons from the Past, actions in the Present, and uncertainties about the Future.

The opening line, "If, from the Past, you have learned," prompts us to reflect on our past experiences. These experiences, whether joyous or filled with adversity, serve as our life's curriculum, offering invaluable insights and lessons. But learning isn't simply about experiencing; it's about understanding and transforming those experiences into wisdom.

"At Present, you would be less concerned" transitions us to the present moment - the only time frame we truly have control over. It stresses that once we absorb the lessons from our Past, our Present becomes less anxious and less dominated by concerns and worries. This understanding liberates us, allowing us to focus on the here and now and influencing our actions for better outcomes.

The final line, "about how the Future will be turned," rounds out the poem with a nod to the uncertainty of looking forward. While we may not have control over the Future's trajectory, having learned from our Past and made the best use of our Present, we can approach it with less apprehension and more confidence.

In summary, "Time The Teacher" is a poetic celebration of life's continuum - past, present, and Future. It's a testament to time's inherent wisdom and a reminder that time, if respected and understood, can be our greatest teacher. So, as you tread on your life's journey, remember to learn, to act, and most importantly, to trust in time.
