There is only now. We
breathe, we think, we walk, we talk, we play, we work, we meditate, we pray, but
along the way we have to constantly remind ourselves that life unfolds in the
present. It’s so easy to get absorbed in
the hope and fears of the future or ruminate about the past, as our minds like
a movie mix scenes from the past, present, and future. This way of life becomes addicting as our
thoughts begin to control us, and we let the joy of present moments slip
away. Yesterday, as I sat in a waiting room,
I watched an elderly couple, she had a freshly picked flower in her hands, and his
tired eyes held a joyful twinkle as he watched her fascination with the flower. I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, and
rested in the stillness of just being.
Get caught up in just being today.
