“All those moments will be lost, like tears in rain….”
from “Blade Runner”
“The moment is not properly an atom of time but an atom of eternity.”
Søren Kierkegaard
The present moment is both discrete and fleeting–timeless and transitory.
How are we to make sense of this dichotomy?
Points for reflection:
Where is permanence to be found
when time slips through our fingers?
What in our experience is lasting?
Is it possible to find stability in instability–
certainty in uncertainty?
Our teacher Rupert says, as I understand, that only awareness of Awareness is permanent. And in that is the only stability and certainty.
This is both subtle (for where I am) and, as told, obvious.
