In order to be fully present and operating properly (fully and completely), particularly with our creative abilities in gear, we must focus our attention on what’s happening NOW. We look at NOW as the present in a traditional time/space dimensional view with events completed being in the past and those yet to come in the future.

OK, imagine something like Haley's comet streaking across the sky. Everyone would turn out to watch a magnificent star together.
