Interesting but your interpretations do not seem to reflect my own - it would take an essay to try and unpack but it is the last sentence that brings this into focus for me “Until we as a collective human race discover steps towards valuing the past, present and future with equal attention to achieve some sort of temporal neutrality, all we have as accessible refuge is the present moment.” IMO it is owing to such neutrality that the present can be accessible as refuge - most often I believe that people inhabit past and future as refuge mostly in a negative way but I believe it can be positive. Have misunderstood? Lovely writing as always - a joy to read.
Gorgeous piece. I'm considering that the relationship to the present is not really a relationship because it is void of cause and effect. (The cause and effect of linear time, or past and future.) It seems relationship, in this case, requires adherence to time. For myself, the past and future are yolked to tension, either positive or negative, unless the present is in awareness, or experience. I may be way off here, floating in my philosophical bubble, far away from reality. :) And I may wake up in the middle of the night with a completely different understanding....
"The world is bruised and bleeding. However, it is important not to succumb to its malevolence at the expense of the understated but unique wonderment that exists in each present moment." 💕
