Summary

This quote suggests that the concept of "the present" is merely a fleeting moment, as it is continually shifting between the immediate future and the recent past. It implies that by the time we acknowledge the present, it has already become the past. It highlights the impermanence of time and reminds us that our perception of the present is subjective and constantly evolving. Ultimately, it urges us to focus on the present moment before it fades into the past.
