The concept of beginning and ending is time, produced by thought.
Can we see, right now, that beginning and end, getting somewhere, being somebody, wanting to get the something I lack, are all products of the imagination.
As long as this isn’t clear, this bodymind remains tied up in knots. Can we see that a thought is always away from this present moment, where time does not exist?

Like the last part of “this present moment where time does not exist”! It captures the essence of the present moment and antithesis of thought. Thanks for sharing Karl.
Thank you Terry, you have been a faithful follower and commenter for many years now. Life is a slow and daily practice! Karl
This post nicely encapsulates why time is ultimately irrelevant. Being aware in the now moment is the middle way, the path of least resistance, towards a harmonious and balanced life. Thank you for the sweet reminder of how simple and important presence is.
Thanks Bret, your comment nicely adds to my understanding of the post as well as encouraging me to try and live it, karl
