But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.

But I can only rest for a moment, for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended.

Every moment is as real as every other. Every 'now,' when you say, 'This is the real moment,' is as real as every other 'now' - and therefore all the moments are just out there. Just as every location in space is out there, I think every moment in time is out there, too.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
