The above sentence, from Scott Forrester the author of Aware Athlete, has been on my mind since I received it a few days ago.
The past is present in the moment!
I am amazed at how different that sounds from what I wrote: the past is in the present. It's difficult to explain how adding the word moment affected me but it did. The past is present in the moment! This very moment!
Take a moment and appreciate your breath, the fact that the life force is pulsing through you! And then read this excerpt from The Consulting Room and Beyond by Therese Ragen:
Rose said: "I've been trying to come to terms with the fact that I am going to die very soon. I never expected it to be such a joyous experience. I feel the most loving I've been in my life."
Rose is in the moment and what happens? Love!
What happens when you are in the moment? I would love to hear from you.
CLUE: Send a snail mail or an email to someone you want to appreciate. Let me know how it feels and what happens.
Thanks for exploring the mystery - Nicky Mendenhall
hank you Nicky, for reminding me to take a second to breathe--really breathe. It is a wonderful way to bring yourself to "the moment." I will be sure to do this often this week!
ReplyDeleteThanks, again!
You are most welcome Diane - I need to do this too so will think of you deep breathing this weekend as I stay in the moment!
DeleteThanks for reading and commenting
Luv ya, Nic!
ReplyDeleteI want to thank Kathi for being persistent! We spend time looking at the blog and it was not evident initially how to post a comment. Together we figured it out! I have great admiration for people who have left comments! It is not an easy task. Kathy told me about the comment she left on why the word moment was more friendly and it made so much sense! I hope she tries again so you all can see it!
DeleteThanks for your support Kathi!
