I love the question ‘how long is now?’, because it elicits two opposite responses. On the one hand the ‘now’ seems infinitely brief. I can never catch the moment, because as soon as I’ve thought about it, the moment has moved on. On the other hand it’s always now. The past and future exist as memory and possibility. The perpetual now is what is. So is the moment too brief to catch or so long it’s always now? Examine your experience right now and I think you will find that it’s both. Time is an ever-changing flow of experience that’s arising in the perpetual now. The moment exists in time, but it also has a timeless quality. As with all paradoxities we need to be conscious of both of these perspectives, not just one or the other. The problem is that most of us see the moment from only one perspective. We’re conscious of the moment in time, because we’re interested in where we’ve come from and where we’re going. We aren’t conscious of the timeless moment, because we haven’t got time for that!
