Quote

Forever is composed of Nows.

Emily DickinsonForever is composed of Nows (c. 1863)

Note

Dickinson distills eternity into the present moment. Rather than longing for a distant 'forever,' she reminds us that eternity is made up of each 'now' we inhabit. This gentle insight values presence over anticipation, inviting us to honor the immediate experience as the only eternity we truly possess.
