Meditations while bored at work

There is no past, no future - only the now. The now is constantly changing but always new. It is always now.

Yesterday is an illusion - the future is a dream. To live in the past is to risk missing the moment, but then, if there is only now how can the moment be missed? So it seems that all we can do is live now - all that is at risk is the quality of now.

When we worry or are angry it is usually the case that we are dwelling on what has happened or what we fear will happen - seldom is the object of our stress now. Even more rare are the times that our present justifies the energy and stress we carried.

How does morality play out in a doctrine of now? Well, right is right regardless of when.....isn't it? What is it that makes right, right? God? If so, which one? Nature? Nature is often cruel, pitiless and driven by/for survival. In that sense, survival is the criteria of right - all else is relative and temporal.

But what of now? It seems to be constantly changing, but that has the taste of illusion as well. Time is a tool and has no value outside of its function, no reality behind the concept. Or is it just the smallness of our lives, of my life, that hides the reality of time?
