reference to a poem by T.S.Eliot, Burnt Norton:
At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless;
Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is,
But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity,
Where past and future are gathered. Neither movement from nor towards,
Neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point,
There would be no dance, and there is only the dance. -T.S.Eliot
When it is time, which is always now, then we rest in the still point between
breaths, between sensations, between movements, between thoughts, and all is
completely obvious! IMO.
