This may turn out to be, well, duh!, but while making breakfast this morning it occurred to me that there's no such thing as standing still in time. The universe is happening, with you or without you, and what feels like being immobile is actually swimming more slowly than the current of events. Instead of the Newtonian-world choice of taking action or not, the issue is whether to stay with the current or get ahead a few strokes or let it wash over you.
