Enlargement of Time and Being

. . . every event carries us away. Every event fastens its mouth upon our energy and consumes it. Life carries us away, now up, then down. And the illusion of passing-time, and the thinking only in terms of time, cause us to fix our eyes always on tomorrow which never comes – for it is always tomorrow. So we live ahead of ourselves strained out in time, and are never here, never in the place where we really are, the only place in which anything real can happen – in now.
