A question posed to me by a friend was intriguing. She asked: “Where does your mind rest when it’s not busy thinking on purpose”.

Her question stopped me on my tracks. Having been a meditator for years, I gave her the politically correct answer. Then I hung up and really dove into the question. Found out my mind is busy thinking of the past as well as elaborating and fantasizing about the future. I realized that nothing that was on my mind at that moment had to do with the present, where life is actually happening.

Thanks my friend, I needed a reminder that all I have is this moment, the present, and if I am fully here, in it, the future takes care of itself and the past is healed by this moment of truth.

Can you relate?
