When you are harried or rushed, life can easily pass you by.  What does this mean?  Life is ongoing all around you in this now-moment.  Imagine yourself in a car.  The illusion is that you are moving past the scenery—going, going, going here and there, when in fact, in every moment you are simply here, now. 

Just as your movies are simply one frame after another after another, the movement is an illusion.  Stop and notice each frame of your life.  Do not become so caught up in the rush of “getting somewhere” that you miss the beautiful scenery and events around you in this very now-moment.
