Context is Everything & the Near Future

If you hold your leg in a room full of twenty people, it's not the same as holding it when you are alone by the sea.

The body enjoys participating in the possible which becomes narrowed down to the probable, which fast becomes the actual or what we call the present. . . Perceiving the "probable future" transform into the present invites us to be there right then. There is no point in being only in the present because the body lives and breathes the future. We may live in the present, but we breathe the future.
