Here and Now

 

There are so many other factors that come into play when we are moving into the silence of our beautiful. We have to combat the media, the thoughts, the critics, the internalized isms, and the final frontier; our own battles with the concept of success. I have been involved with these battles a lot more as of late. More than often I am able to see these battles in a clear and concise fashion because I am hyper aware of my moods, conditions and attitudes. This awareness can at times be considered insanity, only in the fact that sometimes it is too profound and too present for even my own good. What has been helping quite a bit has been meditation and taking it easy, even considering the idea of moving slower. These slower movements are essential living on NYC because everything is always moving so fast, and seemingly out of control.

Being here and now allows me to actually be aware of the fact that I am in a coffee shop right now, listening to Teddy Pendergrass, and writing this blog. I can taste the cappuccino lingering in my mouth, and the bits of croissant stuck in between my teeth.  If you don’t know me by now, you will never ever know me. How true is this? How amazing is this truth? So very important and so essential for the movement of the human spirit further and faster into the knowledge of who we are becoming each second. There is no try, only do. Here and Now. Always breathing in the reality of the moment as it is, relinquishing all expectation and all attempts at control. This breeze off of the ocean of our existence makes for a wonderful relaxation. An assume beingness. I am running into the unknown with my eyes wide open, closed when the winds kick it something strong, but always aware, and always here and now.
