To live in the present, you need to act or accept but never stay stuck.

In order to live in the present, we have to learn how to feel safe even when a situation feels threatening to us.

I have always wished the present to resemble memory: because the present can be flat at times, and bald as a road. But memory is never like that. It makes hills of feeling in collapsed hours, a scene of enclosure made all precious by its frame.

Tomorrow is tomorrow.
Future cares have future cures,
And we must mind today.

To him, even the momentary was momentous.

‎You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the present.
