Book Cover & Preview Text
The past and the future are all illusions. The past is only a memory in our mind, and the future is just a projection. The past is anything that has already happened. This we know. This very moment, as I write this, is already the past. I cannot get that moment back. Gone. I cannot “time-travel”, so I, therefore, cannot live in the past. We go back and relive the past as if it were real. Remember, this is all and only in our heads, not real. The past can weigh us down or lift us up. How much of the past are we dragging along with us? Or are we learning and moving forward with the lessons?
The same is true of the future. As I write this, as mentioned before, it is the past, but it was also the future. Gone! All we have is this moment; it is the only thing that is real. But how long is a moment? When we are going through tough times, how we wish for time to pass quickly. Similarly, when things are going well we want the moments to last. Can we stretch the moment? Can we warp time in order to hold on to moment, sacred moments?

About the Author
Allana Tang is a retired educator, who has worked in that field since 1973. She taught in her home country of Trinidad and Tobago until 1988, before moving to the United States. In Texas, she, again, pursued her career in education, and in 2014, she moved on to a new calling. She credits her ponderings, musings, and questioning to her keen observations about the world around her. This perspective is evident in her writing. Allana and her husband, Francis, currently reside in Houston. Their two daughters are on their own personal journeys, seeking great adventures as they navigate this life.
