Sharing and Caring

[MajestyJo]

Being present in the moment, is the solution to most of my fears, worries and anxiety. If in the moment, it is such a small space in time, there is no room for anything else. As Zen puts it, Hell is big and there is no space for it, in the moment.

When I am in the moment, I am not looking over my shoulder at yesterday or yesteryear or I am not projecting into the future, which is later today or tomorrow.

I had no concept of this when I was using, but it has been a gift in today. It has been one of practice, practice, practice and remembering that was then, this is now. It has taken a lot of meditation and awareness as to where I am in the day. When I remember to stay in the moment, live in the moment, I better see the picture, the whole picture as it applies to me in today. Perception and reality are true and not false or as I would have them be, and I am not carrying around a lot of demons and dragons with me.

It is nice to have a thought in today, only to go back and look at an old post and have your thoughts affirmed. It doesn't matter if it is 2004 or 2016, the program still work when I work it.
