In language, we distinguish between three time periods: past, present and future. We conjugate verbs accordingly to make it clear whether something has already happened, is happening or will happen. So what concerns our lives? Isn't it the case that we are often already living in the future - in what we are planning and must not forget to organise? In grammar, the term 'present tense' is used for the present tense. This is the Latin term for our German concept of the present. I like it - analogous to the English 'present' - because it expresses that it is about presence, presence. And that is the challenge for many of us today: are we present? Here, now? In this moment? Not already there, but right here. Do you realise and live the fact that every single moment, every day is unique and has never been and will never be again? Are you living it and in the present?
I wish you an extraordinary day!
