We all face the potential of sudden and unexpected loss whether it is the end of a way of life or the death of a loved one. Yet often we go through life reacting to external pressures, caught up in imagined shoulds or have to’s and failing to set priorities or establish appropriate boundaries. In so doing we do not always spend quality time with those we love the most or make time to do the things that are most important to us.
Be here now is more than a platitude. Being present is saying YES to life and living one day at a time (sometimes in twenty minute increments). With practice we learn that we always have choices and we come to accept that “it is what it is.”
Recent global disasters and political upheavals remind us that Life is precious. There is only here. There is only now. It is a sacred place.
Give today what is in your heart.
