' things and events '...

It is not the present which is fleeting past us with sickening
speed.

The present moment is indeed eternal.

It is our
imperfect perception that creates the horizontal succession
in time.

Sequential duration is a consequence of the
single-track verbalization of our split-mind, which does not
grasp the outer world instantaneously but interprets it
perversely by extracting bits and pieces and calling them
things and events.
