When was the last time you actually forgot which day of the week it was, what time of day it was, or didn´t have a detailed schedule in mind for the next day ... well it´s happened for us here. I think it´s what we´re searching for when we want to truly live IN the moment. No thoughts of past or future moments are running through your mind, you´re just thinking of what is going on at that exact moment in time. Without cell phone in hand constantly, and not wearing a watch, it´s hard to know exactly what time it is. And not being pressed to be anywhere at any particular time, it really isn´t necessary to know the time. Which then leads one to be able to live IN the present moment. One of many gifts we have received over the past couple of months.
So many folks are caught up in accumulating things, amassing savings, etc. They can't figure out how to live IN the here and now. Really that's all we have, this moment, right now. Nothing more is guaranteed. I see this quality in children. But as we get older we are taught to leave that mentality behind, to become consumers, to take care of ourselves, to be independent. I think everyone could use a good dose of what we are getting here!
