What does it mean to live in the present?

What does it mean to be conscious of your own birth?

What does it mean to be conscious of your own death?

What does it mean to be conscious of the death of your inconceived child?

What does it mean to dance with your arms and legs swinging and leaping and singing with energy?

What does it mean to lie perfectly still?

What does it mean to be intelligent?

What does it mean to live?

What does it mean?

What does it?

What does?

What?

?

quoted from amy at intellectual properties

words of wisdom from erik: “The now is the needle on the phonograph, it is the shining instant in the ever unfolding history of time and space. Being now is both simple and highly complex. Enough so that Zen philosophers have educated, or maybe reeducated, people in how to exist now.

But also to recognize that there is no real reason why your now in ten seconds has to be like your now right now. If you are furious, you can change your now, click, change, different now, different universe. The unending nature of change in the universe can be harnessed for you by simply rolling with it for a second, let change wash over you, let your fury wash away, let the now become the then and find a new now. Decide what you wish your new now to be like, mold it into the right size and shape, it is your now, do with it what you will.”

thanks erik.
