...only think a moment that we are here now, and that that was then, and it has come to this, and how odd, odd, odd it is!

Look at the swell. You'll not find a bigger swell anywhere. It has half the globe for its run-up. You're young. You have the whole world. Don't bother yourself with the past.

You're the oddest person I've ever met, you couldn't get rid of me if you tried.

Fuck the past. This was the present.

It just seems so odd, so surreal,

The past and the future are tools of the ego that render us finite. Without our judgments about the past (memories) and without our judgments about the future (expectations), there is only the Here and Now, the eternal present, the timeless time of the Oneness.
