Shared Presence

Having a companion fixes you
in time and that of the present, but
when the quality of alone-ness settles down,
past, present, and future
all flow together.

A memory,
a present event, and a forecast
all equally present.

-- John Steinbeck, Travels With Charley in Search of America
(arranged quote)
