Then and now "Time is not a line, but a series of now points." -- Taisen Deshimaru We understand time as a continuum. Our memories link the moments of the past and our imaginations draw on the patterns of our memories to project the future. If we leave the movies of the mind behind, time can only be experienced now -- moment by precious moment. Open in awareness to what is happening right now. Appreciate all that is. Immerse yourself in the joy and wonder of every now and life will be a gift. "The responsibility for both present and future is in our own hands. If we live right today, then tomorrow has to be right." -- Eknath Easwaran IP: Logged |

 Very true words. Yesterday is gone. Nothing in the past can be changed except our outlook on what happened in the past. Tomorrow's out of sight. Today is really all we have as we don't even know for certainty that we will even see tomorrow. I think for that reason each day should be blessed. Even the bad things that may happen in the day. The blessing is always that we are alive to have the experience in each day and we can learn from all our experiences.  IP: Logged |

Thanks Mirandee!!!The Last year has really taught me that also!!! What you said, I think for that reason each day should be blessed. Even the bad things that may happen in the day. The blessing is always that we are alive to have the experience in each day and we can learn from all our experiences. I also have learned how to find the blessing in my life. In all the things that I may of thought or preceived as negatives or bad and have found the blessings and lessons in all the rubble. IP: Logged |

Hi SS & M  I liked what you both said about the blessings of the day.....
Reminds me of a fella at my work who has an unfailingly positive attitude -- when I greet him, "Hi Scott, how ya doin today?" he generally replies "Fabulous!! I woke up again on this side of the dirt!!"  IP: Logged |
