presents


“What is by now evident and clear is that neither future nor past exists, and it is inexact language to speak of three times - past, present and future. Perhaps it would be exact to say: there are three times, a present of things past, a present of things present, a present of things to come. In the soul there are these three aspects of time, and I do not see them anywhere else. The present considering the past is memory, the present considering the present is immediate awareness, the present considering the future is expectation.”

Oh, thank you for the mention. On behalf of Giulia who is in midst of her regular afternoon nap (as opposed to her morning/mid-morning/late-afternoon naps)while she listens to classical music. xoxo/Susan
