Background:
The time illusion how your brain creates now
Quote: "We tend to think of it [now] as this current instant, a moment with no duration. But if now were timeless, we wouldn’t experience a succession of nows as time passing. Neither would we be able to perceive things like motion. We couldn’t operate in the world if the present had no duration. So how long is it [now]?"
Listen to poem:
I am a heron
in galoshes
stepping
across pond
one by one
on lily pads
that grumble:
"Hurry Up, Hurry Up,
Time's up!"
"Only 3 minutes here,
Remember!
Move on, now!"
