The only time you or I, or anyone else, has available to us is now...oops, I mean now...no, now... Oh, the heck with it.

There is no past nor future, only now, and now is fleeting, indeed.

Actually, if I understand what this article says about Lynds' paper, Lynds is saying that there is no now. There is only a continuous progression from the past to the future. There are no fixed reference points in the continuity of time. No matter how small you "slice" time, there's still an infinite and continuous stream from the beginning of your "slice" to the end of your "slice." There is no discreet "quantum" of time.

Actually, that's what I'm saying, too. If we have now at all, it's gone as soon as we realize it. Still, it's all that we do have for certain, isn't it?
