The present

How often do you make a journey only to realise when you get there that you have no recollection of what happened along the way.

Sadly the same could be said of much of our life.

If you imagine 2 sliding doors and the gap between them as a thin sliver of light – that sliver of light represents the present – the Now. The past is gone – we acknowledge and accept – and try not to let its shadow encroach on the light between the doors. The future is yet to come – we can have hopes, dreams and plans, but the future is guaranteed for no-one – try not to let those dreams or fears dull that sliver of light.

That sliver of light representing the now is all we have – the present. Let it shine – bathe in its brightness. Each moment of Now – each version of the present.

Maybe we could view life as a series of presents?
