Being in the Moment

What are you doing… right now?
Are you consciously aware of your surroundings?
Do you feel the texture of the seat you are sitting on? Do you smell the inherent scents of the room you are in? Do you know the sources of light and see the way it reflects off of the objects around you?
Do you feel a rising sense of child-like curiosity and wonder as you ponder these things?
If you do, then you are coming to your “center”. You are becoming aware of the “moment” you are living. You are feeling the “Now” of your existence.
Being “in the moment” does not mean you are constantly in a sense of ethereal euphoria. It simply means you are aware of your “being” and the environment you have chosen to envelop your “being”.
True understanding begins with the choice of being “in the moment”. It is a conscious decision to live life with awareness and savor the joy along the way.
