Past Future

You think your past determines your present.You think your present determines your future?

attention

You think your past determines your present.
You think your present determines your future?

What if our past is not fixed
But something we can rewrite?
What do you think dreams are for?

What if our future has already happened,
We’re just remembering it?

What if there’s nothing but the present moment?
What if that’s all there’s ever been?
What if that’s all that will ever be?

What if the present is infinite,
It’s only our perception that’s limited?

What if perception can deepen with practice?
What if that’s the ultimate capacity for life?
