I've been able to really, really understand what 'living in the moment' means and how one can go about it.
Of course, one can, and I do, very often tell myself: I am here NOW.
But this one is amazing. I found it on Brain Pickings Weekly. It's from Macy's Rilke: Buddhist teachings say, you know, feeling that you have to maintain hope can wear you out, so just be present... The biggest gift you can give is to be absolutely present, and when you're worrying about whether you're hopeful or hopeless or pessimistic or optimistic, who cares? The main thing is that you're showing up, that you're here.
A natural fall-out is that from this point, without your actually realizing it, you segue into the giving of yourself to those who are in pain and suffering, and whose paths cross yours...and there is total healing.
