more from eckhart tolle:
imagine the earth devoid of human life, inhabited only by plants and animals. would it still have a past and a future? could we still speak of time in any meaningful way? the question "what time is it?" or "what's the date today?"- if anybody were to ask it- would be quite meaningless. the oak tree or the eagle would be bemused by such a question. "what time?" they would ask. "well, of course, it's now. the time is now. what else is there?"
