Living in The Present
I believe that only one person
in a thousand knows the trick of really living in the
present.
Most of us spend 59 minutes of
every hour living in the past, with regrets for lost
joys, shame for things badly done (both utterly
useless and weakening) - or in a future which we
either long for or dread.
Yet the past is gone beyond
prayer, and every minute spent in the vain effort to
anticipate the future is a moment lost forever.
There is only one world, the
world pressing against you this minute.
There is only one minute -
here and NOW. There is only way to live is by
accepting each minute as an unrepeatable miracle.
Which in exactly what it is - a miracle and
unrepeatable.
