"Nowness"

 
Morton 78-9: "Nowness is a dynamic relation between the past and the future. [...] appearance is the past; being is the future; nowness is the relative motion of future over past, not touching."
 
78: "[T]ime itself is not a line of refined atomic now-points, but a spooky shifting that haunts itself, slightly in front of or behind itself, the rippling play of light and shadow in the pond water reflected on the underside of a sundial on a late summer afternoon, a vibrant stillness that is far from static"
 
"Solidarity is the noise the symbiotic real makes in its floating, spectral nowness"
