It's Okay That The Mind Drifts Away

Stillness, Insight, And Wisdom Arise Only When We Can Settle Into Being Complete In This Moment, Without Having To Seek Or Hold On To Or Reject Anything.

The Only Time That Any Of Us Have To Grow Or Change Or Feel Or Learn Anything Is In The Present Moment. But We're Continually Missing Our Present Moments, Almost Willfully, By Not Paying Attention.

Meditation Is Simply About Being Yourself And Knowing Something About Who That Is. It Is About Coming To Realize That You Are On A Path Whether You Like It Or Not, Namely, The Path That Is Your Life. Meditation May Help Us See That This Path We Call Our Life Has Direction; That It Is Always Unfolding, Moment By Moment; And That What Happens Now, In This Moment, Influences What Happens Next.

People Say Things That Get You Ramped Up. I Find Myself, As My Body Clenches Up When Somebody Says Something That I Know Is Wrong Or I Wanna Catch Them In A Lie Or Whatever, That Just, "calm Down. When It's Your Turn, You Make Your Point."

Wherever You Go, There You Are. Whatever You Wind Up Doing, That's What You've Wound Up Doing. Whatever You Are Thinking Right Now, That's What's On Your Mind. Whatever Has Happened To You, It Has Already Happened. The Important Question Is, "how Are You Going To Handle It?" .... Like It Or Not, This Moment Is All We Really Have To Work With.
