#Living in the Now

[auntieblues]

“I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now.” ― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

"Let July be July" 

by Morgan Harper Nichols

" Even here, you are growing. When August is approaching and you feel a little restless thinking about how this month might end and how this year might end and how you are supposed to start again, you are growing, you are growing, in grace courage strength.

" And it is okay if it does not feel like it. It is okay if there are moments where you cannot see the way you have grown, because far beneath the surface the seeds have still been sown. The ground beneath your feet is still a bed for new beginnings.

" So much is changing around you  but you are changing, too.

" You are so much more than the brokenness that you were certain would define you.

" It has not been easy for you. You have worked so hard to be the positive one. You have given your best in areas of your life where the effort was not returned.  And this has made it so hard for you to keep going, and there have been days where you were not sure if it was even possible. But after everything, here you are, just a little stronger, holding on a little longer, and you still found room for hope. 

" So take heart breathe deep you are still becoming who you were meant to be.

" Let July be July. Let August be August. And let yourself

" just be even in the uncertainty. You don’t have to fix everything. You don’t have solve everything. And you can still find peace and grow in the wild of changing things. "

( From Morgan Harper Nichols’ debut collection 'How Far You Have Come', published in April 2021. )

We are seldom fully present to life. Our body and mind are split between the fears of the past and the worries of the future. And yet our Spirit lives in the now. To be in the now means to be present entirely in each moment with our total awareness so we can consciously live our life. In doing so, we then are free of time and awake to our Self.

Right Now This Moment

In the silent darkness behind closed eyelids, a flicker of color sparks to life, growing and expanding like an impressionistic painting in motion. #kravis #midjourney

Right Now This Momenet In the silent darkness behind closed eyelids, a flicker of color sparks to life, growing and expanding like an impressionistic painting in motion. A cascade of vibrant hues and delicate shades dances across the canvas of your imagination, sometimes gentle and sometimes wild, creating a unique movie only for you. The opening scene of this grand theater takes you back in…

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

"you're the writer, you control how the story goes" no not really. i wrote the first sentence and then my characters said "WE WILL TAKE IT FROM HERE" and promptly swerved into an electrical fence.

Everyday take a moment to stop, breathe and let it all go. Put things in perspective by remembering who you truly are and what really matters in your life.

The echoes of the past and the whispers of the future often tug at our attention, leaving us fragmented and seldom at peace. Yet, the present moment holds a profound…
