Suffering Cannot Withstand the Now

How would it be to lead a life without referring to the past or the future, unless required to do so by practical, creative or loving purposes? How would it be to lead a life in which the past or future were not used as a means of avoiding the sense of lack? The sense of lack or insufficiency is never resolved by avoiding it but rather by turning towards it, by saying ‘yes’ rather than ‘no’ to it, by welcoming it rather than rejecting it, by letting it dissolve in us.
