Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion.
What you perceive as precious is not time
but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed.
The more you are focused on time – past and future – the more you miss the Now,
the most precious thing
there is.

Thank you for the morning quote Karl. How right our Eckhardt Tolle is.
I was just reading some from one of his books this sunny morning.
