Here and Now

You can do nothing to change the past, and the future will never come exactly as you expect or hope for. There have never been past warriors, nor will there be future warriors. The warrior is here, now. Your sorrow, your fear and anger, regret and guilt, your envy, plans, and cravings live only in the past, or in the future. Action only exists in the present, because it is an expression of the body, which can only exist in the here and now. The mind is a phantom that lives only in the past or future. Its only power is to draw your attention out of the present.
