And we call it time.

You know, but there isn't.

There's not a past and there's not a future.

There's only the eternal now in which all possibilities are resident.

And there are, you know, then parallel versions of what's happening in this instant of time.

And depending on any configuration of choices we're making, you know, you're going to get what looks like dark and you're going to look like light.

But they're all just experimenting with the now to see what really brings compassion and love into the equation and what kind of sets people at variance with each other.

So the ability to inhabit the instant when the mosquito hit the locomotive, if you can find that space and stay there, you're in a good space.

There's another very famous version of your archery, a kind of image, and it was a kind of two medieval theologians arguing with each other, and one guy saying exactly that.

If I have to walk to the door, I have to walk halfway there first, and then halfway over the remaining distance, and half of that, and half of that.

So there's an infinite of pieces still to be walked.

So I never actually get there.

And the guy responded, and he says, Veritas ambulandi.

The truth is in the walking.

Watch me.

And he walks to the door.

LAUGHTER

It's amazing to me that I am meeting so many life workers in the last year or two.

I'd be 80 years old in October.

I worked as a missionary.
