When I walk up to a river to fish, I bring with me the past and the ability to see a future.
I know what water is from experiencing its moods. I know what a river is as I have seen them before. I know what it may hold under its surface from what I have pulled from water previously on the end of a fishing line. I remember which baits or lures will work and how they will flow in the draw of a particular current. Even if this is a totally new location, I can piece together from the past what is happening now in front of me.
But yet, I am totally existing in the moment at hand. Surrounded by the space around me. I have never been there before like now. What will happen is a total unknown, but if I act the way the past subconsciously reminds me to, I will have glimpsed into the future. I may catch a fish, snag a lure or fall in the water over my waders...All possibilities. All futures.
However it happens, that will soon be another memory to predict another future. That's the superpowers of being in the presence of now.
