    “The exercise for centering oneself is a simple one.

    Stop thinking of what you intend to do. Stop thinking of what you have just done. Then stop thinking that you have stopped thinking of those things.

    Then you will find the now. The time that stretches eternal, and is really the only time there is.

    Then in that place, you will finally have time to be yourself.”

    “...To free humanity of time. For time is the great enslaver of us all. Time that ages us, time that limits us.
