The past is already past.
Don't try to regain it.
The present does not stay.
Don't try to touch it.
From moment to moment.
The future has not come;
Don't think about it
Beforehand.

except with the most precious of things,
and the most precious of human things
is the state of being occupied
between the past and the future.

Make it your practice
to withdraw attention
from the past and future
whenever they are not needed.

as much as possible in everyday life.

Are both perhaps present in time future,
And time future contained in time past.
If all time is eternally present
All time is unredeemable.
