Here 'I’ am, at ‘this’ place in time at ‘this’ posited location. Here ‘I’ write, at ‘this’ time; ‘this’ time is ‘Now’, but what is ‘Now’, and what do I mean when I say ‘Now’? Did I say ‘Now’ now or after the ‘Now’?, videlicet is ‘Now’ after the ‘before’ or before the ‘after’? If today was tomorrow and tomorrow was yesterday Where would I be 'Now'? As Hegel would say: "Now is a plurality of 'Now'" Perhaps then it was 'He' who suggested that we just go with the flow of things and live for the moment. 'O sense-certainty... you make me smile...
