Good call, Joe.

 

It's the difference between imagining what it

involves when there's no future for one,

and actually living with no next moment.

 

The funny thing is that living with no next

moment doesn't get rid of something called

the future, nor does it put evolution to a halt.

 

It is all-inclusive, this now-being, of what we

artificially divide into past, present, and future.
