Can we know

Can we know the future? Can we say with certainty what even the very next moment will be? 

Can we know the past? Sure we can tell stories about the past. But they are only stories. They emphasize certain things and ignore others. Every time we think of the past we recreate it. 

We can never know the future. We can never know the past. 

All we can know is the present. Are we up to the challenge of doing that? Can we really enter into the moment without trying to lead, without framing the moment as a continuation from our past or projection of the future, neither of which is knowable?

I believe we can. This is what improvisation is: following the pulse in the present moment. 

May the pulse be with you!
