Now you have <em>me</em> thinking! I burn a lot of energy projecting futures that never unfold predictably. It's great for creativity, writing, etc. but stressful for living. Einstein called time a "persistent illusion". This year I intend to practice mindfulness of the superfluid present. Starting... NOW. Thank you for your thoughtful comment… Now you have me thinking!
