A perfect moment/
in which all seems to dissolve/
and work together/
Hopefully you have had a moment in your life like this. You divorce yourself from the past and not hindered by
future possibilities. Life appears to work for you to bring everything together for you. In these moments I find a peace that often eludes me when I seek it to hard. These types of moments can't forced they just appear.
You may not be able to force these moments into existence but you can coax them by proper planning, and developing the ability to know when you are in these types of moments so that you can extract as much from them as you possible can. With practice these moments stop being random experiences and can become permanent ways of existing.
That is right we can develop our lives to be a constant "now i can die moment", all we have to do is begin to realize that our past is not here any longer, and stop fretting the future. When we let the past be just that something we passed it empowers us by allowing us to build in the moment. When we allow the past to be buried we begin to live knowing that the future that we are striving to reach is nothing but a series of moments that we use to erect what it is we will.
So the challenge for us on this Journey is to embrace the moment by cultivating our ability to exist in the moment. By cultivating the moment and extracting all that it has to give us we realize that we don't have to move into the future, but the future moves to us and through us. By us focusing on the moments we begin to experience perfect moments more and more often. Building the life we won't, and by us shaping our lives we inadvertently shape others moments and future as well.
So my dear friend begin building your life by extracting every ounce out of the moments you are given, and like all great warriors when death comes for you, you will be able to face it with a smile. Because you know that you have lived your life to its fullest. No regrets or worries just freedom....true FREEDOM!!!
