It is within ourselves that yesterday is distinguished from tomorrow.
~ Zen saying
What we call yesterday and tomorrow is really the one time. Time is only the one moment, 'the absolute presence, in which all that is present or absent is as such present.' The mistake the unenlightened people make is to understand things and times and the self ... as separate.
Reality is a whole.
