Ah, here begins another installment of what promises to be a myriad of blithering. Blink-blink-blinking goes that accursed cursor of mine. Oh how the author dreads it so. It represents the antithesis of production. We seek to put down words on the page and tis darn cursor never seems to let words pass it. Always will the cursor represent the end of any work. And what is the end, but the beginning of nothing, thus the antithesis of production.
And what is it then that. . .then that. . .that then. What exactly is "then?" Is it what was once my "now," so now it is your "then," now? If that be the case then, as I write this now, which is earlier than any time you might read it then, when you read what I have written now is a less "then" than your "then" is to you during your "now," which is a "will be" to your "now" which is a "then" to my "once was." So then, given this logic as sound then, to have your "then" as a "now" and my "now" as a "once was," never can we assume that anything that "once was" "will be" "now." Now then, what was said was that the "now then" "will be" "now" "once and for all" earlier or later than the "then" "now." Depending on your point of view "now" and "then."
So now and then, my point of view has it, that a way of life "then" or even "now" will eventually be a "once was" and passe to all involved both then and now and probably ever will be. Given that, "then" and "now" being earlier than "once was" and "will be" ever, but later than "now and again" and "there once was a guy," any thing that happens in the now will be "then" and then to the "now" and "will be," but a "will be" to the "then" and "once was." Again point of view dependent on what was then a "now" and what even earlier than the now was the "will be." Unfortunately like all good Zen laxatives that to must pass then, and the result is a "then" and a "once was" to the earlier "now" and "will be." Once and for all.
