Tension allows continuous reality in time.
Attention is my focus on reality in time.
Without tension time cannot be linear.
Linear time allows a past & a future.
Tension allows a past & a future tense to be present.
Focusing my attention on the past or the future takes me out of the present moment of time.
Attention to the past or the future causes tension.
It causes a tension of ‘but no’ & ‘what if’.
With my present attention, there is no tension, no past thinking, no future projection, no ifs, no buts.
When I pay attention to my tension, I am aware of my limitations and my opportunities for growth.
