Wow...a new month. Everything passes so quickly.
I'm always anticipating the next event and focusing on how I will get through that.
But...isn't there an event going on now?
Well, no I don't have a deadline or a goal or a time limit. I don't have an obligation. I am simply living. Right now, I am living in the moment between events.
Why can't this be an event? A time to smile? To cherish and make the most out of?
I'd enjoy life a lot more if the next big thing was the beautiful present moment and not the next anxiety-inducing deadline.
My life often turns into a timeline where each deadline is a dot and the line is the blah stuff that has to happen to get to it But wait a minute...isn't that blah-that straight line-...life?
And that isn't really a straight line at all, but a web of complex connections and new experiences.
This month, I will live in the infinite moments in between. That moment between breaths when everything is still.
The moment I catch my mother smiling at me because she is proud.
The moment I realized we are laughing over the silliest thing-but do we need a reason to laugh?
This month, I don't need a reason to laugh because I will make each moment count. Isn't that something to laugh out of joy about?
Living in the moment is something we possess as children that escapes as we grow older.
Let's go back to those moments of senseless laughter.
Let's become...(timeless).
