Thanks, Shirley, for your thorough response to my challenge. Since I am
using language, my point is, at least in part, rhetorical. But I want to
emphasize that, in reality, both desire and fulfillment of desire must take
place in the present. Given our present knowledge of time, we cannot
access the past or the future, but must live in the present. Rhetorically
we can do things that we cannot do really.
Yours, Bill Godshalk
