Awareness


Being, or being present,
     cannot be an aim.
     Otherwise it's in the future.

If we were to cultivate this aim,
     we'd keep ourselves within
     the framework of becoming.

Being cannot be
     in the future or in the past.

We may speak of the present,
     of being, but being doesn't need
     any concept of time.

When we speak of the present
     it's to avoid slipping
     into past or future.

---Charles Genoud---
