We are here, and it is now. The past, a dream, and the future, a phantasm: both equally ethereal, with no more substance to them than the wispy clouds overhead. Why do we trouble ourselves so over things insubstantial when, here, in this moment, there is so much reality to be concerned with? This moment—right now—is the most pivotal moment in our history; for, right now, we can repent of misdeeds past, and vow to never again repeat the previous moment’s mistakes. Life is a series of such moments—each one, if properly utilized, the building block of the next, and all of them only momentary stepping stones forming a path to the Kingdom of Heaven.
