I was thinking about the concept of time one day. My thought train was like this: time is divided into past, present and future. The present is really this moment. The whole time is composed of moments. An infinite number of moments... But what is this moment. How much time does this moment take?
... And suddenly I saw it or felt it or whatever you might call that experience. I realized the true nature of time. It was exactly what you wrote, but I understood it with every part of my being. For a split second I was free of time...
And then it went away and to this day I know what I was thinking about I understand it intelectually but don't experience it. Time is just an illusion, I know that, but how can we really free ourselves from it forever?
