"Forever is composed of nows", as Emily Dickinson told us. So being "in the now" is something we don't have to work at. When we are imagining our future or mourning the past we aren't in either, we are inhabiting the present, and only the present, because a memory or dream is remembered or dreamed with the tools and texture of the present. It is always today. Yesterday and tomorrow are also todays.
