It belongs to the essence of perception not only that it has in view
a punctual now and not only that it releases from its view something
that has just been, while ‘still intending’ it in the original mode
of ‘just-having-been’, but also that it passes over from now to now
and, in anticipation, goes to meet the new now. The waking
consciousness, the waking life, is a living-towards, a living that
goes from the now towards the new now. (1991: 112)
