For the only time you really need to know…
As I have written elsewhere, the now is, of course, constant. The now is what you leave when you die and what you enter when you are born. The now is that in which all things happen. To experience the now you must be some body. A body goes through the now, the point of eternity. The body either grows into or departs from this one point of eternity. The body must see this eternity as a point, as a moment in time. Health is close to the now; sickness is at a distance from it. Being has everything to do with the body, and so with the body it goes under. Because the now is independent of the body, it does not go under with it. The body is nothing but the beat, breathing, becoming of time. Because the mind transforms what’s happening into what happened (existence into experience, reality into short and long term neural patterns and networks), and also looks ahead to see what might happen in the now, its location in the beam of being alive is often somewhere around this now.
Now is the time.
no other feeling exists other than the one caught up in the moment…for a moment i believed in you
Jori Hulkkonen had a great song on his 2006 LP that your post reminded me to listen to again.

charles, i love you, but now you are quoting almost word-for-word the dr. wayne dyer special that is always running on PBS. the power of now. you watch PBS don’t you?
Chuck, Now is the time to put the pipe down…
The difference between great writers and thinkers, whose opinions I respect, and Charles, is that Charles writes the introductory paragraph to the paper. Everyone else actually finishes it, with a point made and some insight gained.
you have had enough bong hits today
@4: “Vladimir Nabokov said that on first reading Borges he thought he had come upon a new and marvellous portico, but that behind the facade he found nothing.”
eventually, of course, everyone on staff gave up bothering to post anything on Slog
this was a hot topic of discussion at keg parties during my freshman year in college.
“As I written elsewhere”
[sic] aside, Charles, why would I give a fuck what and where else you have written, since I can’t stand to read anything you write? Seriously – if I see your name, I skip it. Your writing is garbage.
C’mon you guys, stop picking on Charles. He’s just getting started. Soon he will write a topic sentence and then he will say something worth discussing……
This here The Time Is Now schtick is just the beer commercial before it all gets going.
You forgot “space”! You need “space” for “now”!
