delete me's blog: "my sign"

To dwell in the here and now does not mean 
you never think about the past or responsibly 
plan for the future. The idea is simply not to 
allow yourself to get lost in regrets about the 
past or worries about the future. 
If you are firmly grounded in the present moment, 
the past can be an object of inquiry, the object of 
your mindfulness and concentration. You can attain 
many insights by looking into the past. But you are 
still grounded in the present moment.
