Live Present Tense

"Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit."
     - Henry David Thoreau

Change season to present in the above quotation, and Thoreau gives excellent advice to writers. Live, breathe, drink, taste, and see: Be present in the present tense.
