“Nothing is as constant as change.” – (Heraklit) –

The commitment to the moment determines a traumatic aspect of the modern experience of time. Given traditional socialization, we expect a continuous flow of time from the past into the future. But life experience teaches us otherwise. Every present represents a break with the supposed continuity, for it brings events, decisions, and changes of course that call into question what has previously been valid. It is important to take the turn into a new present at the right time and not to be left behind in the past by following habits. In fact, not much needs to happen. It is enough that contexts and relationships shift, so that new perspectives emerge that must be taken into account.
