The division of life into past, present, and future is mind-made
and ultimately illusory. Past and future and thought forms, mental
abstractions. The past can only be remembered Now.
What you remember is an event that took place in the Now, and you remember it Now. The future, when it comes, is the Now. So the only thing that is real, the only thing there ever is is the Now.
Eckhart Tolle
from Stillness Speaks
Chapter: The Now
