Week 8: Atha


 
Forever is composed of nows. – Emily Dickinson


With the past, I have nothing to do; nor with the future. I live now.
 — Ralph Waldo Emerson
 

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly. – Buddha


In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which comes; so with present time. - Leonardo da Vinci



The heart surrenders everything to the moment. The mind judges and holds back.
 — Ram Dass

People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.—Albert Einstein


You have to wake up a virgin each morning.  — Jean-Louis Barrault



Real generosity towards the future lies in giving all to the present. — Albert Camus


Waking up begins with saying am and now. That which has awoken then lies for a while staring up at the ceiling and down into itself until it has recognized I, and therefrom deduced I am, I am now. Here comes next, and is at least negatively reassuring; because here, this morning, is where it has expected to find itself: what’s called at home — Chistopher Isherwood
