Reflections from an ever learning sojourner...
Life
happens in the now.
Though we can find
joy and sorrow and gain valuable wisdom from our memories, there is no active life in what has
already passed. That life has come and
gone and cannot be undone.
Vibrant life cannot
be found in daydreaming about or dreading the future.
We know nothing about that future, near or far, because it is not
guaranteed and not yet a reality. Dreams and ideas can
be used to inspire our actions in the present, but that doesn't change the fact that the future is still simply a fantasy
in our mind.
Dynamic living occurs by
engaging in this very moment, with this very breath, and in the current
circumstances of life. It is in how we wholeheartedly live this moment that redeems the past and in which the future is forged.
What
will I make of my life right now?
