Past, present, future. Of the three only one will ever exist, and that is the present. You can choose to ignore this and impetuously daydream in the past and future. Or you can choose to learn from your memories and build towards your aspirations.
lyrics
Can you imagine, a world with no tomorrow
today without yesterday but that’s exactly where we are (here and now)
Your entire past occurred as an ongoing present
Your entire future occurs in the present moment
The only step you can take is the one in front of you
So return, letting the current current shine through
These are the words I promise you
Things you did you can’t undo
Clinging to dreams that never last
Live in the now not in the past
The past can hold important lessons
and it’s vital to know where we came from (here and now)
but the past can trap you in long gone memories
let your present action shape a brand new history
The only step you can take is the one in front of you
So return, letting the current current shine through
These are the words I promise you
Things you did you can’t undo
Clinging to dreams that never last
Live in the now not in the past
The future can hold untold promise
and it’s vital to grow your aspirations
but the future can snare you with languid daydreams
let your present action shape your destiny
The only step you can take is the one in front of you
So return, letting the current current shine through
Senses of the body ground you in presence
While images in the mind pull you away
Leaning on past, depending on future,
it’s a crutch, live life for today
These are the words I promise you
Things you did you can’t undo
Clinging to dreams that never last
Live in the now not in the past

I gotta give love to my string-playing brethren, especially Savoir Faire. Hypnotic electro-acoustic grooves set the stage for a fresh take on improvising violin. byerself
