Note To Self

Insofar as a human being makes do with the things that he experiences and uses, he lives in the past, and his moment has no presence. He has nothing but objects; but objects consist in having been.

What is essential is lived in the present, objects in the past.

- Martin Buber, I And Thou

I'm trying to learn to keep my "you" and my "it" separate. As if they are mine at all. But you know what I mean. Well, maybe you don't. Simply said, I'm trying to pay attention. There you have it.
