Eckhart Tolle explains that the present moment isn't an event but the unchanging backdrop of awareness. Everything else flows in constant flux, yet you're always already inside this still moment. It never changes; only your experience of it does.
For most humans, life is full of many moments because they think that the present moment is what's happening. But the present moment isn't what's happening because that changes continuously. Your life is continuous flux, the flux of becoming. Choo, choo. What doesn't change is it's always the present moment.
