living-in-the-moment

Seeking answers to questions is what draws us forward. When you have no more questions you live in the satisfaction of the present moment. You have no more questions when you finally learn that love is the answer. Love is always the answer.

Tis only when faced with our own mortality that we truly realize what it means to be alive,

Even as we live with the knowledge that each day might be our last, we don__ want to believe it.

Today is a new canvas, paint it with all your favorite colors.

You only live once in your life.Decide the the path to be travel by you in this life.

Smiling at death seems like a pretty bold act. And so I smile like a damned fool.

You could continue to repress and think about the life you could have had or you can take what you want from life and see that the world finds that person infinitely more irresistible...

Will the time ever come when I am not so completely dependent on thoughts I first had in childhood to furnish the feedstock for my comparisons and analogies and sense of the parallel rhythms of microhistory? Will I reach a point where there will be a good chance, I mean a more than fifty-fifty chance, that any random idea popping back into the foreground of my consciousness will be an idea that first came to me when I was an adult, rather than one I had repeatedly as a child?

The greatest gift you can give (yourself or anyone else) is just being present

The ultimate experience of being mindful occurs when we forget about everything, even the mindful self and doing. In that mode we are full of energy, utterly self-generated.

Mindfulness is observing the beauty of every moment unfolding before us.

Mindfulness is not entering into another planet. It is making you good at what you do. It is restoring your link to the source of life.

Life is neither a glorious highlight reel nor a monstrous tragedy. Every day is a good day to live and a good day to die. Every day is also an apt time to learn and express joy and love for the entire natural world. Each day is an apt time to make contact with other people and express empathy for the entire world. Each day is perfect to accept with indifference all aspects of being.

The next time someone tries to make you feel bad about feeling good,respond by continuing to live well.

Write to Say something, Say to Make something, Make to Be something.

The beauty of the future can only be seen by those who are very optimistic about the precious things life has to offer.

So, tomorrow, I'm leaving. And I'm not going to let that happen again with anyone else. I'm going to do what I want to do. I'm going to be who I really am. And I'm going to figure out what that is. But right now I'm here with you. And I want to know where you are, what you need, and what you want to do.

It seems sometimes that we get so caught up in missing the past, or looking forward to the future, that we forget that this, right here and now, was once the days we longed for and will soon be the ones we miss.
