The world is
as sharp as
the edge of a knife.
If you live
on the edge of a circle,
that is the present moment.
What's inside
is knowledge, experience:
the past.
What's outside has
yet to be
experienced.
The knife's edge is so fine
that you can live
either in the past, or
in the future.
The real trick,
is to live on the edge.
--Robert Davidson, Haida artist (quoted
by John Vaillant, The Golden Spruce,
arranged)
