The dreamworld of the past and the future

"To find our way, we will need to pay more attention to this moment. It is the only time that we have in which to live, grow, feel and change. We will need to become more aware of and take precautions against the incredible pull of the Scylla and Charybdis of past and future, and the dreamworld they offer us in place of our lives."

- Jon Kabat-Zinn
