Our 5 senses are our handiest link with the present.
The present is the only time they are actually available.
We cannot taste something from the past --
We can only remember that.
We cannot smell anything from the future --
We can only imagine what that might be like,
On the basis of an imperfect memory
Of an unconnected past experience.
Remembering and Imagining
Belong in the realms of Non-Experience.
While you are remembering an experience,
You are experiencing Remembering,
Not the actual experience.
While you are imagining an experience,
You are experiencing Imagining (a memory).
Would you go to a 5-star restaurant
And pay good money to eat its press reviews?
Why not?
While you are busy Imagining or Remembering
You are missing from Now ...
Off in the dead past or the non-existent future ,
Missing inaction.
To bring your self back to Now
See something,
Hear something,
Smell something,
Taste something,
Touch something.
Get real-real.
