TWO MEN AND A POODLE — by Steve Nadis

Thirty years ago, when I was still a youngster, I used to live in a group house near Harvard Square across the street from two guys who I frequently saw walking their white poodle. Today, on my way back from coaching soccer, I saw those same two men walking a similar-looking white poodle. Only these men were now senior citizens, one walking with a cane and the other rather stooped. I guess they’ve aged a bit over the past 30 years, and come to think of it so have I.

    There’s no better illustration of Heidegger’s concept of being and time. It speaks for itself. A nice posthumous birthday present for him.

    Thanks GM. I knew there was more to what I wrote than I realized. I just couldn’t put my finger on it before…
