• Time overlaps itself. A breath breathed from a passing breeze is not the whole wind, neither is it just the last of what has passed and the first of what will come, but is more--let me see--more like a single point plucked on a single strand of a vast spider web of winds, setting the whole scene atingle. That way; it overlaps ... as prehistoric ferns grow from bathtub planters.

• For a long time we dreamed of a real leather ball, and at last my brother had one for his birthday.

• There is only one thing in your life YOU can be sure of. That one thing is this moment, now. The last moment has gone forever. The next moment has not come. YOU can become fully conscious only when you are living in the moment. To begin to live in the moment you have to know it exists and understand it. To understand it you have to observe it in relation to yourself and in relation to life. When you understand it, when you become conscious, you will see it is all that exists. To see this is to glimpse reality.

• Those spacious regions where our fancies roam,
  Pain'd by the past, expecting ills to come,
  In some dread moment, by the fates assign'd,
  Shall pass away, nor leave a rack behind;
  And Time's revolving wheels shall lose at last
  The speed that spins the future and the past:
  And, sovereign of an undisputed throne,
  Awful eternity shall reign alone.

  Petrarch

  This quick revolving wheel shall rest in peace:

  Nothing shall be to come, and nothing past,
  But an eternal now shall ever last.

  Of earthly being-and its last low tones,
  Wandering in broken accents in the air,
  Are dying to an echo.
