Each moment is a procession from the future into the past and the sweet spot is always the present. Live in that sweet spot. Be present.

Here's the scientific community saying, fundamentally, "If we don't change our ways, we're screwed." And they got no attention at all.

Once, she'd been a pro at decompressing, loved to sit on the back deck of the beach house in one of our splintery Adirondack chairs for hours at a time, staring at the ocean.

Maybe it was the absence of thought that she loved about being out there, the world narrowing to just the pounding of the waves as the water moved in and out.

Kevin Nealon
-
