Maybe the moment is all there is. Maybe I should just gather my clamshells and be quiet. The exquisite experience of joy-when I am completely consumed by a pleasurable activity such as conversation with good friends or good food or laughing with my children-is certainly one of the moment. But for some reason, I and many of my fellow travelers are not satisfied with the moment. The Now isn't enough. We want to go beyond the moment. We want to build systems and patterns and memories that connect moment to moment to eternity. We long to be part of the Infinite.
