Here, now.
The past is gone. It is a set of energies, circumstances, people, and things that will never come together in exactly the same way again. The future does not exist. It has not yet happened, which means that the future can be what we choose. We can create it. Yet, in truth, the only way to create is to be here now. That applies to the future, to a project, to a garden, or to the upbringing of a child.
The simplicity of this meditation is its magic.
