the-present

MOTHER TIME: Life goes by so very fast, my dears, and taking the time to reflect, even once a year, slows things down. We zoom past so many seconds, minutes, hours, killing them with the frantic way we live that it's important we take at least this one collective sigh and stop, take stock, and acknowledge our place in time before diving back into the melee. Midnight on New Year's Eve is a unique kind of magic where, just for a moment, the past and the future exist at once in the present. Whether we're aware of it or not, as we countdown together to it, we're sharing the burden of our history and committing to the promise of tomorrow.

Each day is a giftTo embrace and welcome

- I believe in unlimited discovery and achievement.- I believe that dreams can become reality.- I believe in true love.- I believe in kindness and intelligence.- I trust life, regardless.

The present is an eternal attempt to separate the past from the future.

Now is everythingNow is the essenceNow is the focusFocus on the nowFor that is the key

Dance. Smile. Giggle. Marvel. TRUST. HOPE. LOVE. WISH. BELIEVE. Most of all, enjoy every moment of the journey, and appreciate where you are at this moment instead of always focusing on how far you have to go.

When you live in the present, the past is forgotten & the future takes care of itself.

No matter how much you stress or obsess about the past or future, you can't change either one. In the present is where your power lies.

Mindfulness is not the path of chasing. It is the path of beautification. When flowers blossom, the fragrance spreads, and the bees come.

You can't judge the present by the past. Each day is different, and you live it differently.

He had understood long ago that the past was no better than the present. That was as plain as day. One had to try to escape, to wrestle free from every era, so as not to be devoured by it.

What we perceive as the present is the vivid fringe of memory tinged with anticipation.

Don't go to eighth grade...don't talk about something old...don't bring up old memories that have nothing to do with who we are now. THIS is all that matters! TODAY.

We can't rewind the past, nor fast-forward the future, so today, all we can do is play, record, pause and keep moving, until something should press the stop button.

Pleasure, like the sparrow, never sits on any one branch too long.

Some people masturbate to temporarily replace their partners when they are absent, whereas some people do that to temporarily live in the present.

Now is the only time we have, and the only time that we have any control over.

Don't sacrifice the present and attempt to achieve the impossible- to completely correct the past... It's gone! Learn from it and move on...
