Are you enjoying this moment?

Are you really enjoying this now moment? Are you? Are you present enough and taking it all in, right now?

It's an interesting question isn't it, especially if it registers enough so that we stop for this now moment and take it all in. I've discovered that you can actually fall in love with this stuff you know. Fall in love with this. With now. With whatever this is. And when you get glimpses of this, you wonder why you've been running around like a chicken without its head all your life when it's all right here, right before your eyes.

When I find myself present, it makes me realize how much of my life I've been running around, doing stuff and not being present. And then what are those memories? You think of good times when you weren't really present, weren't really there, didn't really savor the life that was yours. And then it's gone. Puff!

And why? Was it because we were scared? Or worried that we weren't good enough or it wasn't good enough or it wasn't going to turn and right? And then what happened? It happened and it is now gone. Done. Over. Dissolved back into the nothingness from which it came.

Well I guess if we can see that... if we can see what we were doing before, we are now awake enough to be present with this now moment. And the next now moment. And the next.

Isn't this a blessed day! Isn't THIS blessed!

Love you. Barbara
