Being present in the moment, being aware of your surroundings and paying attention to the people places and events is living.
Having your mind in the past or projecting what’s to come, being judgmental and critical, hoping and wishing for other than what is unfolding is self- flagellation.
Life is a miracle and experiencing it in real time is the pleasure and privilege of being alive.
When our minds are not rooted in the awe of what is unfolding we are barely on the fringe of life.
Would you go to a concert and out in earplugs and read a book?
Who goes to a 5 star restaurant and has dry toast and water?
Embrace life. Life is right now !
ONLY ONLY ONLY NOW.
