"Meditations on time and how to live every moment artfully. I've read it multiple times. "Because we believe that one moment is more or less like the next, we lose touch with the essential urgency of the present, the fact that each passing moment is the one moment for the practice of freedom.""
"Have given this book away many times--it's Montaignesque in style, common-sense philosophy, or meditations, on the nature of time. What's big in time and small in space? (A stone) What's small in time but large in space (a cloud). How would you visualize the present? A newspaper. How would you visualize the future? an empty piece of paper. The past? a pile of newspapers."
"This book offers profound ideas to return to over and over. The material is organized into numbered snippets, the author's reflection on time and how we live. His ideas never get too specific to his life, so they are easy to relate to. His thoughts are more for reflection and pondering. Each time I flip through the book, something touches me that hadn't in previous readings."
