We are told more and more to live in “now”, but what is “now”?

I, like most people see it as a time marker which in turn makes it impossible to achieve as there is no “now.” “Now” becomes like a sunbeam. I know it exists, but it is ungraspable.

My inner dialog reached an empass at this point. Treating “now” as a moment in time was impossible. Just asking the question “When is now?” is a deadend.

I concluded there must be another approach, and this came to me like a dripping tap filling a bath slowly and with effort.

The question is “What is now?” not “When is now?” as with most of life only when the correct question is asked does the answer come.

In its simplist form, “now” is true reality. A distilation of a moment. “Now” is where we exist, we are all creatures of “now” we have invented the concept of past and future, to obscure “now.” It is only once this is understood, are we able to embrace the magic of “now.”
