For the present moment is infinitely small; before we can measure it, it has gone, and yet it exists forever. . . . You may believe yourself out of harmony with life and its eternal Now; but you cannot be, for you are life and exist Now." --from <i>Become What You Are</i><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Alan Watts (1915-1973) was a renowned lecturer and the author of nearly thirty books, including <i>The Way of Zen </i> and <i>The Book. </i>
