parallel universes

I live in 2 parallel worlds. the past and the present. the future is in front of me and lately i have found it difficult to to stay in the present. i keep time shifting. i'm not doing it on purpose. i'll be sitting with someone at a dinner party talking, trying to stay engaged in conversation, and suddenly i feel my body pulled out and pushed back in time. it happened recently and as the conversation diminished i was 20 years back in time in another place.
sometimes geography triggers it. if i roll past an old and familiar place suddenly the strong memories of that place will take me back to another time, perhaps an incident that left an indelible impression that has not been fully processed. i know you are thinking i am just talking about strong memories here, but it is more than that. even as time never stops pushing all of us forward there are unfinished moments that require us to journey back and engage again.
i will continue to navigate between these 2 worlds even as i press forward. just bear with me if even as we're talking i occasionally appear to be somewhere else.
