Well, that depends on your point of view, doesn't it. If pursuit is the
metaphor, then one can see the future catching up with the past about as
easily as the other way round (though the eating metaphor is harder).
If we think of ourselves as stationary and time flowing through us from the future to the past (contrary to the more usual image of time flowing from the past to the future and carrying us along) then instead of the past devouring the future we would have the future vomiting the past. mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
