Be present...........

Be present. I would encourage you with all
my heart - just to be present. Be present
and open to the moment that is unfolding
before you. Because, ultimately, your life is
made up of moments. So don’t miss them by
being lost in the past or anticipating the
future.

Don’t be absent from your own life. You will
find that life is not governed by will or
intention. It is utimately the collection of
these sense memories stored in our nerves,
built up in our cells. Simple things: A certain
slant of light coming through a window on a
winter’s afternoon. The sound of spring
peepers at twilight. The taste of a strawberry
still warm from the sun. Your child’s
laughter. Your mother’s voice.
These are things that shape our lives and
settle into the fiber of our beings. Don’t
take them for granted.
