sitting still.


sitting still. being in this moment happy. even with the uncertainty about what comes next. not defining or evaluating my present life based on my expectations of the future. with myself in this moment, enjoying myself and the universe. loving my present more than loving any idea I may have about my future. not loving the potential of all of this more than loving the reality of what it is. living. acknowledging my only real purpose, the inner one, is just to be present. typing these words. being with them, in turn, allowing them to be with me. sitting still. fully present. finally. when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. Oprah and Eckhart Tolle appeared this morning
