[MD] Do we experience the potential future?

[MarshaV]

David,

I try to live in the now, or least in the flow of my breath.  I am 
content.  I don't send my hopes and fears anywhere, I let them go and 
bring my mind back to the moment.  I occasionally worry, but not much 
because nothing turns out as I worry it.
