Nature knows no past or future, except in our human consciousness, but we relate to reality as if it were a finished event or an inevitable future. If we remain in the now, we are open to enjoying all that is given to us as gift during the day. We experience to the full, joy and sadness, laughter and pain, dismay and hope, beauty and ugliness all wrapped up as gift in the present moment.
Though we all live in the present, some of us are more open to the nowness of everyday reality. Others try to flee from the present, because of unfinished work from the past or a hazy future, not built on outside reality.That is why in the now we rise when we rise, we pray when we pray, we eat when we eat, we live as we live. In such an existence, the past is over, only memories remain and the future is still a way off because the future builds on present moments.
The now helps us to arrive at our destination in the most effective way possible. If we live in the now, we cannot help but touch the divine presence because God is Master of the moment.
Live now to the full, catch the early morning sunrise, enjoy the dew, eat a hearty breakfast, enjoy the work of the day, your leisure, spend enough time exercising, begin and finish the day with prayer. The now will never let you down, because you are responding to it from your own inner being, which gives pattern and harmony to the now.
