Quote
If you've ever tried to keep a diary, then you'll know that the problem of trying to write about the past really starts in the present: No matter how fast you write, you're always stuck in the then and you can never catch up to what's happening now, which means that now is pretty much doomed to extinction.

Quote
I whispered "Now! ... Now! ... Now!" ... over and over, faster and faster, into the wind as the world whipped by, trying to catch the moment when the word was what it is: when "now" became "NOW". But in the time it takes to say "now", "now" is already over. It's already "then".

When you beat a drum, you create NOW, when silence becomes a sound so enormous and alive it feels like you're breathing in the clouds and the sky, and your heart is the rain and the thunder.
