A Little Something About This Moment Now.

“Many people are alive but don’t touch the miracle of being alive,” writes the venerable Thích Nhất Hạnh.

My goodness, such beautiful insight – don’t you think? That we, so often, in the midst of unsettledness – relinquish our one true connection to the sacred.

Out of fear of the unknown, we cling to our pain. We lose touch with those much simpler things.

Like the muffled thump of mittened hands, and the creaking groan of snow covered limbs.

In our distraction, we sometimes fail to appreciate – that this moment holds so much more than any of our present worries.

As author Jack Kornfield once so eloquently shared, ““Let go of the battle. Breathe quietly and let it be.”

Indeed, that we might one day learn to make now our primary focus.
