Here and now is the only way it can
be. Here and now is the way it has always been.
Here and now, we are. Here and now are our loved ones, friends,
work...here and now before us is the earth and the universe, all
the simple grandeur. Despite all of our worrying to plan and
change, collect and use, to make and tear down, we can only
be in one place--here and now.
What about the future? Dilemmas and decisions
always crop up, needing to be looked after. But where are you
really? In the here and now. We tend to dwell on the past. When we
do, we are in the here and now so it is not really the past. You
can't get away from the present. It is everywhere you go. Use it!
The present is what saves us; the crucial moment where the seed of
our spiritual awakening takes root, is nurtured, develops and
blossoms. All the past comes alive here in our today. It is
in the now that our tomorrows begin.
