A few days ago I returned from a shopping trip with my two kids, utterly exhausted by my 2-year old who needed to be carried all the way back to the car, through the enormous shopping mall (and not remembering where I had parked my car wasn't helping the situation). The kids fell asleep on the way back and when we arrived home I was able to leave them in the car and sit outside to watch over them. The sun felt warm and healing on my skin as I just sat there and let myself rest.
The moment was magical. The beauty of summer around me was breathtaking, the sound of birds divine, and the warmth of the sun healing. Right there and then I felt I don't need anything more this minute, it's all right there for me. I had this acute awarenedss that it doesn't get better than this! That's it - life as it in this moment. I felt fulfilled, happy, not needing anything else, completely in the moment.
I caught myself living.
All of a sudden it occured to me that this is really what this life is all about: fully being in each moment, accepting each minute as a gift and seeing the beauty in it. Not worrying about the future, not thinking what I needed to do next, not analyzing the past.
How are you living? Are you taking the full advantage of each moment to see it's beauty and take what is offers? Or are you longing for the next moment or missing what has already passed? The future is not here yet and the past is gone. The only beautiful reality is NOW. In a way, it doesn't get better than this. Because wherever you go, there you are.
If you feel exhausted by chasing the next better moment, I am inviting you to stop and look. It's right here.
Lots of love!
