The Magic of the Moment

Early this morning… lying in bed… “pondering” as I am want to do…

I asked myself… “What do I know for sure… What is my message in life?”

Hmmm… I don’t know… maybe… and then it hit me…

“The Magic of the Moment”.

This moment… this instant… whatever is “happening”… right now.

There is a silence… effortless… and peaceful.

No words can describe it… or label it…

It feels like floating… an early morning mist… then disappearing into the sky.

Nothing to do… or think… just breathe… just be…

Feeling the joy of being alive… a presence…

A sense of “oneness”… with everything.

There is no-me… no you… no separate self.

Just life living and happening each moment.

Then my mind jumps in and gives thoughts their due… I create a story… about the “special me”…

where I hide from the “magic of the moment”.

Wow… when I turn my attention away from “my thoughts and my story”…

and look from the awareness of “who I am”…

I relax… I let go… I surrender…

Peace at last!
