THE PAST IS PAST




AS I WORK, LIVE AND BREATHE IN THE ANTIQUES WORLD I AM SURROUNDED BY ITEMS, IMAGES, AND ICONS OF THE PAST AND EVEN THOUGH MY FONDNESS OF THIS EBBS AND FLOWS WITH RAPID CYCLES, I KNOW WHAT IS OF INTEREST ONE YEAR, MONTH, WEEK IS NOT NECESSARILY OF INTEREST TODAY. THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN TRUE. JUST AS THE PRESENT BECOMES THE PAST AND THE PAST BECOMES FORGOTTEN , IT IS ONLY WHEN IT IS FORGOTTEN THAT IT CAN ONCE AGAIN BE DISCOVERED AND BE "FRESH".

TODAY THIS NOT ONLY APPLIES TO OBJECTS OF INTEREST BUT TO THE VENUES THAT PRESENT THEM.
IF WE WISH TO STAY IN THE PRESENT VERSION OF THE PAST WE MUST STRIVE TO CHANGE BECAUSE IT IS THE EVOLVING PROCESS THAT KEEPS US CURRENT.
TOMORROW WILL BE YESTERDAY BEFORE TODAY IS OVER!
