You and I feel as if time is constantly gliding away from us, or we just don’t have the ability to preventing it. This belief is flawed — because not all of us delve into time from the perimeter of our conscious awareness. Of time being the ‘ageless’ mainspring that belongs to us all — of time with which we are always skilled, especially in the art of ushering in transformed strength into our life.
When we think of all things as nature envisioned them to be, we revel in the belief that we ought to live in the moment, the all-inclusive present-moment. When we relish every part of this present-moment, and make it the resolve of our life, we also look at everything with thoughtful understanding. That the present alone is all-embracing, and that everything else is but a game of cards in the framework of our past. For some, this is a puzzle — primarily because our next instant may not exist anymore than it does. It is likely to fade just as quickly as it emanates — like a dream.
With all the turmoil that exists around us, there’s good reason for us to live and progress in the ever-fleeting present. This celebrates a form of cyclical activity too — one that does not seem like taking us into the prospective journey of finding the reality for which we are all endeavouring for. Yet, it does. It signifies the reality of our existence, no less — living in the midst of adversity. And, that it is acceptable to be what you are — just as you are.
