Moment by Moment by Moment

Things that matter come and go, but being touched and feeling life move on, we tend to cling and hold on,not wanting anything to change. Of course, this fails and things do change. Often, we are stubborn enough to go after what we think is leaving, trying to manipulate and control the flow of life, Of course this fails too

We can't stop life from flowing. All clinging and holding on makes it worse Mark Nepo

Immerse yourself in the moment for a day, whatever you are doing be all there, fully present. See how it feels, what it does to both you and the activity or person you are interacting with

Body, mind and soul

We have a tendency to look at what we have to do next, what is on the to do list, what we forgot to do earlier, what is missing, what we will say as soon as the person we are chatting with shuts up, or maybe we will butt in

On the other hand, we may be focusing on what we forgot to do yesterday, who we forgot to cuss, what we wanted to tell our co worker or friend that we didn't yada yada yada

Many times we miss the moment....completely

focsing on the past or the future

not being fully present

Then when something we "like" comesalong and we want to hold on to it so we attempt to recreate the past. Sometimes we attempt to recreate a moment that we were never really present in- that makes it even more interesting.

Controling and manipulating events are never a sure fire way to keeping tham, in fact, it is quite the opposite

To surrender required strength and courage. Surrender does not mean giving up, oh on the contrary, surrender means having faith, it means knowing that because you have done the work, you have been in the moment, you have set the boundaries, you have lined up thought word and deed you are well equipped to wait with ease and grace. To let it go and move on with life in the moment. Moment by moment by moment
