I always wanted to be
somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific. [Lily Tomlin]
I canNOT think of a better reason to utterly love the word
NOW. Really. So much in my own language and Life have been vague and linked to
someday or sometime when really I could have played it so much wiser simply by recognising
that it is and was ALWAYS, Now.
No work or love will
flourish out of guilt, fear, or hollowness of heart, just as no valid plans for
the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now. [Alan
Wilson Watts]
It is only possible to live in this moment, this Right Now,
and yet it is almost trained into us to seek for what will come and then, if or
when [or if NOT] that comes, to go on seeking for what’s BEyond this achievement
or place.
As I prepare for moving, this time, I am keenly aware of my
tendency to stop living in the moments I have and focus instead on where I am
going Next. Gratefully, I am DOing quite the opposite. I am marinating in this
little ordinary no-frills Life I have here, in the Wee Cottage, with Gracie.
I am BEing, quite simply, exactly WHO I AM.
I love you, Currie

We all need to think more specifically. ;)
Now is the time! No time like the present, as they say. :)
