"The man hunched over his motorcycle can focus only on the present instant of his flight; he is caught in a fragment of time cut off from both the past and the future; he is wrenched from the continuity of time; he is outside of time; in other words, he is in a state of ecstasy; in that state he is unaware of his age, his wife, his children, his worries, and so he has no fear, because the source of fear is the future, and a person freed of the future has nothing to fear."
Source Kundera, Slowness



..... told you it was deep !

I have to confess to allowing my mind to wander with thoughts of the future when riding home from work on my bike.
I wonder what er in doors is rustling up for dinner. Lol
