The Power of New

Yesterday I watched a video about Eckhart Tolle : Meditation: Eckhart Tolle.

I posted this comment : 
6.56 : ''the ways in which life manifests continuously around you''. That's it : something new happens at every moment. I think this is the most wonderful property of the now : it is never the same now, the now is always another now, the now you live has never been lived before, because it is continuously new : the power of now is the power of new. And this newness is not a concept or a vague idea : all this world is material and matter is always active and always new. In another video (The Enjoyment of Being with Eckhart Tolle, New World Library) : he says : ''so-called inanimate objects have a life of their own''. What is that ''life'' -but an incessant physical newness ? Nietzsche wrote : ''the tree is something new at every moment''. There are no old objects : their aspect may seem old, but their matter is always new. Every object is continuously new, even a dry leaf. Is perceiving the now another thing than perceiving this continuous newness ?
