9/11/07: Slow Down, Time!

Today will quickly fade into yesterday if each moment is not spent in conscious awareness.

When you project in the future, worrying about this and that or relive the past, bemoaning this and that, the present moment slips by unnoticed, and before you know it, it's another day, another month, another year gone by.

You look back and wonder where all the time has gone. And in doing so, you miss out on yet another present moment.

Look around, pay attention, be available to your senses and immerse yourself into the experience of this moment, right here, right now. Whatever activity you must do today, do it with mindful awareness, conscious attention and an open willingness.

A miracle of creation exists in each moment and it is unfortunate that countless moments, countless miracles, slip by unnoticed all the while as we are begging for a miracle, blind to the present miracle before us.

Be here, now, in this moment. When you live in each moment, fully alive, alert and awake, the power to slow down and even stop time becomes yours.
