Edith Schaeffer on Time

"I have a personal advantage in having lived for sixty years, having been married for forty years, having had four children and now four children's marriages and families to observe and be a part of, and twelve grandchildren. I can say positively that the years fly past like a mist in the night! Time disappears more quickly than smoke! It is not possible to go backwards. The "now" is important if there is ever to be any family life. Steve Turner, a young English poet, has lines in his poem "Ageing" which I would like to quote from the book Tonight We Will Fake Love: 'At some point in his life there came a shortage of future.'"
