Being in the Moment
tToday, I see that the only real point of power is in the present. Life cannot be lived backwards or forwards, but only in the context of today. If I truly let myself have this moment and all that it contains, I will be in quiet possession of great eternal wealth. All that is, is in this moment. It is where all the waters meet and all the wisdom of the ages lies; it is the now that calls me to it with open arms. That lets me sink into it like a child leaning into his mother’s lap. I work out my issues and preoccupations, not because it is right or good or proper, but because it allows me to be in fuller possession of my present. When I am spinning in obsessional thinking or living in the future or the past, I walk right by the power and beauty of the present moment. I can act in this moment only, past actions are over and I cannot reach my arms into the future no matter how hard I try. Today I will release those parts of me that remain tied up in endless preoccupations so that , I can be more fully in the now.
I allow myself this moment.
The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it.
