Stop a Moment

Does time flow or we construct it to single out past, present and future?
Time strikes a chord between what has undergone / what is undergoing / what is anticipated.
May be time is used as landscape to sketch (i.e. what will be done based on what was done) which as a human being we maintain it on a high pedestal. Sometimes, it is felt there is no present as it is never felt / experienced. This happens as we stop being part of this instant when breathing is in motion.
Past creates anguish / cheerfulness / melancholy etc. and future creates optimism / credence etc. in the thinker.
The best self can do is to overlook times of yore / meditate about imminent. Instead, plunge in to this second. The state should be a continuum of self’s existence. On establishing it awareness is perceived and doubts can be evaded.
An enquiry arises as to what is to be done to breathe in / out and ignore time?  
“If, then, I were asked for the most important advice I could give, that which I considered to be the most useful to the men of our century, I should simply say: in the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, and look around you.”  - Leo Tolstoy
